Error description

  • Customer migrated from z/VSE 5.2 to z/VSE 6.1.  As part of
    the process they tailored the REXX for CICS component and
    migrated over, their existing Rexx File System (RFS) VSAM
    clusters.  They then tailored and made use of the new supplied
    CIC*.PROC members in PRD1.BASE.  Afterwards, they were able to
    successfully execute the provided IVP (CICIVP1.PROC) without
    any issue.  However, any attempt to access members
    in the RFS fails with a RC=12 from any 'RFS DISKR' command.
    This includes the internal 'RFS DISKR' command invoked as
    part of the internal REXX EDIT Server for full screen edit.
