Additional Information

With ptf SO10853 the sample JCL for INST0050 and GSVUCSEC have been updated to include information about the default behavior change from ALLOW to FAIL for new commands,
and to update the sample SYSIN input to show how to override the default setting.

The PARM string input to the utility changed from positional to a keyword/value format:

Old: PGM=GSVXCNVS,PARM='&SSID'
New: PGM=GSVXCNVS,PARM=‘SSID=&SSID‘

New (hidden): PGM=GSVXCNVS,PARM=‘SSID=&SSID,DEBUG‘
