Error description

  • Running the IBM CONSOLE TRACKER on z/OS R6 to prepare for a
    future release of z/OS which requires changes to any using 1
    byte console ids or some options with intialization of a
    subsystem.

    The CICSPLEX address space is flagged by the TRACKER for the
    issue from OA10531.
    .
    We have generally found this is because the process of enabling
    the subsystem console WTO broadcast function through IBM routine
    IEAVG700 needed to be updated. At z/OS V1R6, the value of the
    VERSION parameter in the parameter list changed (from x'03' to
    x'04) to indicate the higher OS level.
    .
    The version of the operating system on which you are running
    needs to be determined and the SCSVER field passed to IEAVG700
    set appropriately.
    .
    It would be desirable to have CICS support the R6 parameter list
    so that we know they can't be using a 1-byte id if they happen
    to reuse the parameter list for other functions other than
    broadcast messages.

    *                      is required to pass the current level   *
    *                      of z/OS on an IEAVG700 call.            *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    A tool called 'IBM Console Tracker' has detected a z/OS
    level mismatch between what is being passed in field SCSVER
    on the IEAVG700 call from DFHSSGC and the actual z/OS level.
    In the reported problem, the CICS region was running in an
    MVS with z/OS level 1.6 . SCSVER contained x'03', indicating
    a z/OS level of 1.5 or lower, because CICS was compiled at
    this lower level.
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHSSGC has been modified and SCSVER will now be set to x'04'
    if the z/OS is 1.6 (or higher) and x'03' if the z/OS is 1.5
    (or less).
