  ****************************************************************
  zSecure Admin/Audit for RACF has the following issues regarding
  profiles with custom data segments:
  - zSecure Admin incorrectly formats custom data segment field
    values for the generated RACF commands. The values are either
    not properly enclosed in quotes or incorrectly enclosed in
    quotes;
  - zSecure Audit incorrectly formats custom data segment field
    values in the RACF_COMMAND field for SMF reports (newlist
    type=SMF) so that the formatted values are not properly
    enclosed in quotes or incorrectly enclosed in quotes;
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Admin/Audit for RACF has been modified so it correctly
  processes custom data segment field values.
