Sporadic CAP Failure when packages contain HFS elements

Issue/Introduction

Endevor (CAP) Concurrent Action Processing sporadically fails with USS elements.

Our site is using USS files to pass sysout information back to the processor from  BPXBATCH. The STDOUT and STDERR output is saved to USS files using a temporary file name (DD PATH='&TMPDR/C1USERID.err') - This file is then copied back to MVS.

There are sporadic S213 errors when multiple actions are spawned.

Resolution

Modify the temporary filename for each element action so the generated filenames are unique.  The was done by adding the processor symbolic &C1ELEMENT so each file was unique for each action.
