Issue/Introduction

You are running the Earl Service Configuration Task to modify the default EARLOPT option settings. The provided job in CCCSJCL member AXEI0040 failed during the APPLY of USERMOD UXE6101. The overall RC=08 was witnessed along with the following SMP/E messages:

GIM24001E ** ASSEMBLER PROCESSING FOR SYSMOD UXE6101 FAILED FOR MODULE EARLOPT IN THE CCCSOPTN LIBRARY. THE RETURN CODE(20) EXCEEDED THE ALLOWABLE VALUE.

 ** ASMA417C Unable to open OBJECT file

 

This problem may be experienced if you have installed other packages in the same SMP/E CSI, and one of those packages delivered an OPTIONS entry defining a utility for ASMA90 where the PARMS do not include NOOBJECT. If OPTIONS is not defined on the APPLY statement, SMP/E will use the OPTIONS from the most recently installed package.

The potential for this problem has been seen if the CA Easytrieve Report Generator package was installed using CA CSM into the CA Common Services CSI. The installation of Easytrieve adds OPTIONS entry EZTOPT which contains ASM(ASSEM). This utility invokes ASMA90 but the PARM does not include NOOBJECT.

Resolution

Update AXEI0040 to include OPTIONS(CAIOPT) on the APPLY statement as follows:

    APPLY  SELECT(UXE6101) OPTIONS(CAIOPT).            /* APPLY THE USERMOD */
