I would say that it sets the KFB to whatever value of the successfully obtained segment or 0 if no segment was obtained - you do not want a KFB with values relating to a previous call, would you?
Of course IMS keeps track of where it is - how is it possibly going to efficienlty keep track of where it is for the next call?
Elementary programming - and IMS is "just" another program or series of programs.

The KFB can be changed for an unsuccessful call. You would see this if you are using more than one SSA.
For instance a root, first level child, and second level child. If the root and first level were found, but not the second level, the KFB would be set to the concatenated key of the root plus the first level segment. The length set to the length of those two keys.

Since your GU has an EQ on a fully qualified key, IMS might, repeat MIGHT, be moving to the portion of the database where that key would show up according to the randomizer. I didn't see if you were using an HDAM or a HIDAM database.
Also, the KFB is NOT cleared before or after a call. That linkage area may still have old keys in it no matter what. That's why it's critical to check the KFB length.

Hello,
If you do not ensure you got "something" and try to use it anyway, beware of the very old caution from IBM.
The results may be unpredictable.

I still believe, that my last posting shows the truth!
But I want to add, that if I test the same constallation with DFSDDLT0, i get a KFB after a not successfull GU!

We believe you!
For the DFSDDLT0 KFB, what is the length? Can you post the results here?

Hello,
i get a KFB after a not successfull GU!
Are you sure you "get one" or is this just something unpredictable or left over from the prior request. . . ?
