 In the message text:  group_name
The RACF group name associated
with opened terminals.
saf_return_code
The error return code from the system authorization facility (SAF).
racf_return_code
The error return code from the resource access control facility
(RACF) or other security product.
racf_rsn
The error reason code from the resource access control facility
(RACF) or other security product.

System action
 Initialization continues, but the group ownership
of terminals will not be updated during open. This will prevent programs
such as talk from accessing the terminal.

Operator response
 Notify the system programmer or security
administrator.

System programmer response
 If the return and reason codes indicate
that the group is not defined, use the RACF ADDGROUP
command to add the group.  Be sure to include the OMVS operand and
to specify a unique GID.
 If the group is defined, but does
not have an OMVS segment or a GID, use the RACF ALTGROUP command to add this information.
 The
name used is specified in the TTYGROUP initialization parameter, which
defaults to TTY. This group name is used for certain programs, such
as talk, which run as setgid programs. The name specified should
match the group owner of such programs.
 For other reason codes,
search problem reporting databases for a fix for the problem. If no
fix exists, contact the IBM® Support
Center.
