XCOM CLIST: Errors when executing CLIST

Products

• XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

I’m logging onto TSO using the logon proc SYSn.xxxx.PROCLIB($ISPxxxx).

Using ISRDDN I confirm that the CLIST “XCOM” is present in library CBXGCLS0.  If I go to TSO option 6 and issue the command “XCOM” I see the following messages.

If I issue the command “exec 'cai.CBXGCLS0(XCOM)'” from TSO option 6, the TSO session immediately ends.  The following messages appear in the syslog.

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : XCOM Data Transport for z/OS

Resolution

In this case the user had to remove the START and STEPLIB statements from the XCOM CLIST. This may have been necessary due to their environment setup. The XCOM CLIST does not have the ISREDIT command that appears in the messages provided. 

Additional Information

Please make sure that the XCOM CLIST is not in part of the SYSEXEC, since that is reserved for REXX execs only. The XCOM CLIST should be in the SYSPROC.
