To: J3 07-221 From: Aleksandar Donev Subject: OPEN with TEAM= Date: 2007 May 08 References: J3/07-007r1 Discussion: During plenary we noticed several problems with OPEN with a team of more than one images: 1) The text requires that the values for all s be the same, which is too restrictive for output specs such as IOSTAT. 2) The intention has always been that if an error condition occurs on one of the images of the team all images get an error. The error message or status does not have to be the same, however, we should not allow some images to continue and some to fail with an error. This should be made clear in normative text. Similar considerations apply to NEWUNIT. If no IOSTAT is specified and an error occurs on one of the images then error termination is initiated which brings all images down so there is no problem there. Edits: [221:20] Replace "s" with: "s, except for ERR, IOMSG, IOSTAT and NEWUNIT." [254:6] Add a sentence after the first sentence: "If an error condition occurs during execution of an OPEN or CLOSE statement on any of the images in the connect team, then an error condition occurs on all images in the connect team." [219:40-41] Replace the first sentence with: "If no error occurs during the execution of the OPEN statement, the variable is defined with a processor determined NEWUNIT value that is the same on all images in the connect team."
