Error description

  • In IBM Explorer for z/OS V3.1.1, when editing and saving a
    dataset member, the client is misinterpreting the ACF2 Abend
    913-0 and attempting to update a protected dataset.  Although
    the RSE server properly trapped the abend 913-0, the client was
    ignoring the reason code 0. The following error messages were
    written to the RSE server log:

    While the update is properly prevented by the underlying z/OS
    system services, the user is unaware of the access violation.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The client was too restrictive in it's handling of abend error
    codes so it did not display a message in this instance.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The client code needed to be changed to more generically handle
    abend codes it doesn't recognize.
