The MAXDAYS value in ACF2 is not working correctly after PTF SO03886

Products

• ACF2
• ACF2 - z/OS
• ACF2 - MISC

Issue/Introduction

After updating to current maintenance which included PTF SO03886, MAXDAYS is no longer working correctly in ACF2.  What is needed to correct this?

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

PTF SO03886 increased the size of the MAXDAYS field, but that required the field to be moved. That caused a re-assembly of the ACFFDR. Make sure the new ACFFDR is used so the pointers in the ACFFDR match the offset in the ACF2 code for MAXDAYS.

Make sure the version of ACFLID that is picked up during assembly contains the following information:

*  TA10152  05/03/18  Z0048                                     TA10152
*           Reloc  LIDNDAYS to a 2-byte area                    TA10152
*           Rename LIDNDAYS to LIDNDAYO                         TA10152
*                                                                      
*  TA10236  11/12/18    Z0048                                   TA10236
*           Correct seq numbers                                 TA10236
