Environment

Release:
Component: OPSMVS

Resolution

The cause of this problem is the usage of an old version of the REXX program ARCHNTRK by the ARCHPROC started task.
This program was updated by the PTF SO05934 to allow secondary space allocation for the archive datasets.
To check if the updated version is in use the line 42 of the REXX program should have a "space2"  value as below:

Parse Var passed_prms ssid ',' logname ',(' space1 ',' space2 ')' 

Make sure the SYSEXEC DD statement of the ARCHPROC started task contains the updated ARCHNTRK program.
