VM65202: PIPE MACLIB CAN CREATE BAD MACLIB
A fix is available
Obtain the fix for this APAR.
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The CMS PIPELINES MACLIB stage might create a bad MACLIB in
certain cases where it adds a record "* Dummy to avoid
TTR=xx0" after a member to prevent an OSSIM problem that
occurs when a member starts with a record number exactly
divisible by X'100' (decimal 256).

VM65257: PIPE MACLIB CREATES MACLIB WITH WRONG SIZE MEMBER
A fix is available
Obtain the fix for this APAR.
APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The PIPE MACLIB stage is used to create a MACLIB.
In some cases, FPLMLI (which processes the Pipelines MACLIB
stage) has to add a dummy record to ensures that no member of
the MACLIB begins on a 256 (X'100') byte boundary : * Dummy to
avoid TTR=xx0
When the MACLIB directory entry for the member is created, it
does not set the flag in the directory entry to indicate that
the dummy record was added.
When one later invokes the MACLIST command, it shows a size for
that member that is one higher than the real member size.
