Resolution

1. Message "ICH420I PROGRAM XCOMXFER FROM LIBRARY XCOM.CBXGLOAD CAUSED THE ENVIRONMENT TO BECOME UNCONTROLLED." comes from RACF.

2. Message "XCOMM0854E XCOMMVSC SAF SECURITY FAILED, RV=FFFFFFFF, RC=0000008B, REAS=130102AF,/MVSK/u/XH14/amoxyhelp.html", is return by XCOM based on what was returned to it by z/OS Unix Services.

XCOMM0854E announces an error response to Z/OS Unix service __login() which is called by XCOM in order to impersonate an userid. XCOM does so by default when running with SECURITY=SAF or when asked to deal with an USS file. The hex numbers in the message are:                          

RC=0000008B is EPERM (operation not permitted)

REAS=130102AF means:
