    ****************************************************************
    zSecure Admin/Audit for RACF performs profile selection based on
    MASK/FILTER values incorrectly on systems with a RACF database
    range table (ICHRRNG) in cases where a search pattern is
    specified in a FILTER/MASK selection argument (or its prefix if
    generics are used) matches ICHRRNG range start value and there
    are multiple RACF data sets that fall into the matched range.
    Only the first RACF data set gets processed resulting in
    incomplete profile processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that it correctly
    processes the RACF database range table.
