Environment

ACF2 for Z/OS 2.3 Release 16.0
 

Cause

The ACF89810 error message could be caused by either picking up any ACF2 R15 Linklib/ LPA libraries or not copying runtime library properly

Resolution

1. Verify if all z/OS 2.3 compatibility fixes are on with CA ACF2 R16.

2. Verify if DSN SYS1.NUCLEUS contains module CSVSBRTN. Make sure its current and look for any eyecatcher.

3. Verify using TSO ISRDDN or TSO CAMODID any module related to CSECT ACF89CDE. It is included in several other ACF2 modules such as module ACF89SIP.

It Should be current. Here in the an example with current RMID RO95218

For example:

acf2hlq.CAX1LINK(ACF89SIP)

.......-ACF89CDE........AC89CDE#........CMCTABLE...... AC89CDE@...&...0ACFF1MFS

4. Make sure your runtime library is upto-date and while copying nothing is missing or out of sync.
