Greetings,

I am trying to do a STOW INIT on a PDS, and it is failing with a R15=x'1C'
which according to the docs it is because the DCB defined a partitioned
data set; the initialize function supports only PDSEs.

The code is simple:

STOWINIT $ENTRY SABNDRY=PAGE,SALENGTH=4096,RMODE=24
         OPEN  (PDS,(OUTPUT))
         STOW  PDS,,I
         CLOSE (PDS)
         B     STOWINIT0
PDS      DCB   DDNAME=PDS,MACRF=W,DSORG=PO
STOWINIT $EXIT                     Exit

So, is there an APAR that needs to be on to provide STOW initialize for
PDSs, above the original support for PDSEs?

This was running on:

Executing on BCP    z/OS   01.04.00
Executing on Architecture Level   1
Executing on DFSMS  z/OS   01.03.00

Thanks...

Michael
