Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of z/OS UNIX System Services for   *
  *                 HBB7790 and HBB77A0.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Spawn with a new CWD (current working   *
  *                      directory) and a relative path name     *
  *                      specified does not find the target      *
  *                      program in the new directory.  The new  *
  *                      CWD should be included in the search    *
  *                      for the target program.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Only the path name specified by the caller was being used by
  the spawn syscall to locate the target program.  When the
  caller specifies a relative path name and a new CWD, the CWD
  should be used in conjunction with the path name to locate the
  target program.  As a result the spawn syscall failed with
  RC81 (ENOENT) RSN05F1006C (JrFileNotThere), indicating the
  target program could not be found.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module BPXPREXC will be modified to always use the new CWD with
  a relative path name to locate the target program for spawn.
