'TSS0252E KEYWORD NOT DISCERNIBLE - ACID' Adding STC In Top Secret

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

When trying to add a proc to the STC with a Top Secret ACID, the following error occurs:

TSS ADDTO(STC) PROCNAME(procname) ACID(acidname) 

TSS0252E  KEYWORD NOT DISCERNIBLE - ACID                       
TSS0301I  TSS      FUNCTION FAILED, RETURN CODE =  4      

What causes ACID to not be recognized?

Resolution

Change the site defined field in the FDT or the site defined resource class in the RDT to a name that does not begin with ACID. Site defined fields/resource classes in the FDT/RDT can interfere with keywords in Top Secret. The ACID keyword is actually an abbreviation for ACIDS and therefore any site defined field/resource class beginning with ACID will lead to a keyword conflict in Top Secret if ACID is specified in a TSS command.

To locate the site defined fields causing the confusion, the following TSS commands can be used:

TSS LIST(FDT) FDTNAME(ACID) PREFIX
TSS LIST(RDT) RESCLASS(ACID) PREFIX
