OA61908: SUBSTRING OF SYSTEM SYMBOL FOLLOWED BY OTHER LITERALS IN PROGXX NOT PARSED CORRECTLY

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Substring of system symbol followed by other literals in PROGxx
  not parsed correctly.
  
  For example, if PARMLIB member PROG02 contains an entry with:
  VOL(TXX&SYSR2(4:1).02))
  
  where symbol &SYSR2 is defined as G2402D, the parsed value is
  TXX0.0 but it should be TXX002
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of zSecure Collect and users of    *
  *                 zSecure Admin/Audit exploiting the status    *
  *                 auditing of security and system              *
  *                 tables/options reports.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Collect and Audit might         *
  *                      incorrectly resolve system symbols with *
  *                      substring operators specified in PROGxx *
  *                      system configuration members.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When system symbols with substring operators are present in
  PROGxx system configuration members and substring specification
  is terminated with an optional 'dot' character (like
  &SYSNAME(1:3).), zSecure Collect and Audit do not handle the
  'dot' as part of the system symbol specification hence
  resolved system symbol value contains the 'dot'.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Collect and Audit have been modified so that they
  properly handle system symbols substring operators terminated
  with a 'dot' character.
  

Temporary fix
