Warning issue while coding One IPUT File same as OUPTUT FILE

After execution of IDCAMS / REPRO function on May 01, 23,  application reported lost of more than 80K records, because erroneously JOB processes GDG file both as input and output, using DFSORT: 

 

171 //SORTIN DD DSN=RRMX.AM.AM.B02.AMACT.SAM80.BU(0),
// DISP=SHR
 

172 //SORTOUT DD DSN=RRMX.AM.AM.B02.AMACT.SAM80.BU(0),
// DISP=SHR

 

As per application team, the time to recover lost records took more than 1 week and financial application impact was significant. That´s main reason to request a Warning issue while programming one single IDCAMS DFSORT utility:  1 INPUT file same as 1 OUTPUT file.   

 

As explained by IBM on Case TS013105873, there are other IDCAMS REPRO use cases that may affect sending warning msgs,  different from this one.

    IBM agrees that the ability to detect (and warn through some mechanism) that the same dataset is being used for input as for output would be beneficial to our clients.
