Local fix
The undocumented server option NOVERBCHECK can be added to the options files of the TSM server and storage agent as a workaround. WARNING: The use of VERBCHECK helps to protect the server not only from ABENDs but also from users "hacking" for buffer overflows and injecting malicious code.
