Issue/Introduction

Cust is starting up his NetMaster for SNA region on 12.2 (from 12.1) and
the following error occurred:

N00301 INVALID OPERAND IN JCL PARM: SEC=PARTSAF

Environment

OS: z/OS.

Resolution

Level 2 Support explained:

Given that SEC=PARTSAF utilizes our distributed code (security exit)
that is good news in that they won't have a custom security exit.
Therefore SEC=NMSAF will work for them. Also: This is
documented in the manual:

Partial Security Exit PARTSAF Removed

The partial security exit PARTSAF has been removed. If you previously
used PARTSAF use the security exit NMSAF instead. For details about
NMSAF see the Security section in the Shared Content Library.
