Hello,
several times I tried to understand the logic behind the relation
between the SYSMOD APAR names and the RETAIN prefixes. The reason for
looking behind this scene is, that I need it for some tools.
For example: if you get the enhanced HOLDDATA you get the SYSMOD APAR
names, if you need to get further explanation you have to translate this
into the RETAIN name. Or if you need to look into your CSI to know if an
APAR named in IBMLINK is already installed, you'll need the translation
in the other direction.
Here is what I found out during the time for the translation from SYSMOD
apar to RETAIN prefixes (in REXX logic, where s1_apar is the first
letter, s2_apar the second)
select
when pos(s2_apar,"AWY") ^= 0 then s1_apar = "O"
when pos(s2_apar,"KLNPQ") ^= 0 then s1_apar = "P"
when pos(s2_apar,"OR") ^= 0 then s1_apar = "I"
otherwise
s1_apar = "?"
end
For the translation in the other direction, AFAIK it seems that for IMS
the table from the PSP bucket is used, for other products (z/OS, DB2
etc.) the first letter of the SYSMOD APAR starting with A is something
like a "version" of this APAR , for example CYxxxxxx is the third try to
fix the error ...
Does anybody have more detailled infomation to this topic ?

This subject comes up now and then and I still don't know of any cross
reference list between the SYSMOD APAR prefixes and the RETAIN
prefixes (the ones you search for on IBMLINK). It's just something
I've learned over the years based on the component. For example,
HOLDERROR AAxxxxx = RETAIN OAxxxxx, AWxxxxx = OWxxxxx,
AKxxxxx = PKxxxxx and AQxxxxx = PQxxxxx.
