After a file is verified during open, it is positioned at the bottom
of the file instead of at the top.

_PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
When a database file opened for UPDATE or EXTEND is not closed, due to
an operator CANCEl or power loss, etc, an OPEN flag is left on in the
file root block.  The next time this file is opened for UPDATE or EXTEND
the database access method will automatically perform an internal VERIFY
to detect and correct any structural errors before resetting the files'
OPEN flag.  The VERIFY was leaving the file positioned at the bottom
(last record) thus overriding the normal OPEN action which positions the
file at the top (prior to the first record).

Many parts of OMCS application logic depend upon correct positioning by
OPEN.  This particular problem was detected by a failure within Y2K
support in the OMCS writer task after it was cancelled by an automated
operator.  This underlines the IMPACT: CRITICAL status of this APAR.

_PROBLEM CONCLUSION
RECOMMENDATION: Apply PTF ASP0830.
