How to correct this situation?
Environment
Cause
To correctly setup CA JCLCheck, it is necessary to validate and eventually customize the default ‘Runtime Options’ provided at installation time, per the local standards.
These options define checking capabilities for things such as the security environment, the source of the JCL, alternate processing activities, or the report types you want CA JCLCheck to issue after it checks your JCL.
Runtime options are an integral part of CA JCLCheck and are covered in detail in CA JCLCheck Runtime Options section of the CA JCLCheck 12.0 Command Reference Guide. They can be changed using the following methods:
â– ISPF online panels
â– Supplementary OPTIONS file (OPTS=), if one is available
â– PARM= field in the CA JCLCheck execution JCL EXEC statement
There are some very rare cases in which, a wrong setup of these options can generate an abnormal termination of CA JCLCheck activity against jcl streams but no evident messages are got about the wrong option values set.
An abend in module CAZ1SSF is probably related to a wrong setup of Security Validation Options.
Resolution
The SECURE Runtime option requests support of the pre-validation of the security environment. This option has the following format:
SECurity(options)|NOSECure
Default: NOSECure
Use options to modify security checking. Specifying the Security option automatically activates various pre-validation checks.
If this option is in effect, You can specify also the runtime options DATEFMT(EURO) and RUNDATE for future run date and time to use for security validation in a date format which is not the default US layout mm/dd/yy. They are only valid for ACF2 security product.
If runtime option DATEFMT(EURO) is in effect but RUNDATE is not specified or it is specified without a valid date/time value, then every CA JCLCheck scan against a jcl stream, both batch and foreground, abnormally ends with the abend S0C7 in CAZ1SSF, followed by a S0C4 in CAZ2CJCL.
To bypass this abend there are two possibilities:
1. If DATEFMT(EURO) should be used, then it is mandatory to correctly setup the Runtime option RUNDATE, providing a valid date/time value as documented in our CA JCLCheck 12.0 Command Reference Guide.
2. Otherwise both DATEFMT(EURO) and RUNDATE runtime options should be removed so that the default values NODAtemf and NORUNDt are used.
If, after this suggestion, the message occurs again, please open a Case with CA Support.
