Error description

• Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.4 CARMA startup fails
  when using CLIST startup method with the new (8 parameters)
  format
  
  CARMA startup fails when using CLIST startup method with the new
  (8 parameters) format.
  
  fekfivpc.log and rsecomm.log show the following trace message
  INFO com.ibm.carma.rse.server.transport.CARMASocketServer$1:
  REXX output:
  ?
  FEK.#CUST.CNTL(CRASUBMT)' is using the old format
  stderr head: //'FEK.#CUST.CNTL\(CRASUBMT\)': EDC5047I An invalid
  file name was specified as a function parameter.
  (errno2=0xC00B028E)
  
  Due to this faulty processing, CARMA always expects the CLIST to
  use the old format and does not provide all arguments the CLIST
  expects. The next lines in the log show that the startup fails
  because of this.

      call bpxwunix 'head -l1
  '//'Escape(Clist)''',,stdout.,stderr.
