Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1) When choosing the SETUP option from panel ETI$MAIN, the VSAM
  control file is opened for input/output access. If the user
  lacks the authority to update this control file an abend could
  occur. SETUP panel processing will now only attempt to open the
  control file for output when a change is detected. Users that
  lack the proper update authority will now be allowed to view the
  SETUP panels without error. If an update attempt is made by this
  type of user, the following error message will be displayed:
  CTC904E: The specified dataset could
  not be opened for I/O
  
  2) STEP 5 of the Table Editor User's Guide Installation
  indicates the following changes are required:
  Change:    &CTCLEVEL..SETIMENU ) UNCOND STACK to
      &CTCLEVEL..SCTCMENU ) UNCOND STACK
  
             &CTCLEVEL..SETIPENU ) UNCOND STACK to
             &CTCLEVEL..SCTCPENU ) UNCOND STACK
  
             &CTCLEVEL..SETILOAD ) UNCOND STACK to
             &CTCLEVEL..SCTCLOAD ) UNCOND STACK
  This will be changed in ETICLIST.
  

Local fix

  Control File.
  2) Edit ETICLIST and make the changes for now.
