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

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.
