Closed as program error.
Error description
Program HSIAUTO tests a specific variable, and if non-zero displays the corresponding message and terminates. When the message is found to not exist, message HSIA999U is issued reporting RC=2 with RS=9 from module HSIMSG. This can happen erroneously when the variable contains non-zero residual data because HSIAUTO does not initialize the variable to zero. The occurrence of the problem varies depending on LE settings such as the size of the stack. The problem was reported on z/OS 1.13.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS V8.1 * * customers. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: MSGHSIA999U HSIMSG/HSIAMSG FAILURE - * * MSGID=HSIA584E RC=2 RS=9 during * * initialization of program HSIAUTO. * * Reported MSGID may vary, such as * * MSGID=HSIA312E. Problem observed on * * z/OS 1.13 but may occur elsewhere. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When uninitialized variable has non-zero residual data, it is used to form an error message identifier which probably does not exist. HSIMSG returns with RC=2 and RS=9. Error varies or may disappear with different LE options, particularly size specified in STACK.
Problem conclusion
The relevant program variable will be explicitly initialized to zero.
Temporary fix
