FSUM2327
The start of the session was not recorded. The recording program could not determine the name of the pseudo-TTY for the session. Function = ttyname(), terminal name = 'string', file descriptor = number

Explanation

The login recording program could not separate the pseudo-TTY pathname into the directory name and the pseudo-TTY file name. The start of the session was not recorded in the /etc/utmpx file. This error did not prevent the session from starting.

Because the start of the shell session was not recorded in the /etc/utmpx file, certain shell commands may show that the user is not logged on. This problem clears up when the next user logs on to the shell using the same pseudo-TTY this user had.

In the message text:
terminal name = 'string'
The name of the terminal returned by ttyname().
file descriptor = 'number'
The file descriptor of the pseudo-TTY passed to ttyname().

System programmer response

Make sure that the names of pseudo-TTYs used by the TSO/E OMVS command are of the form /dev/ptypNNNN and /dev/ttypNNNN. If the pseudo-TTY name shown in the error message is correct, follow the usual problem determination procedures for diagnosing and reporting z/OS UNIX problems.

User response
