Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Admin/Audit using system    *
  *                 symbols in DSN argument of the ALLOCATE      *
  *                 CARLa statement.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Admin/Audit does not resolve    *
  *                      system symbols for DSN specification    *
  *                      resulting in various run-time errors.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided and review the        *
  *                 documentation updates.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  When system symbols are provided as part of the DSN value, the
  zSecure Admin/Audit does not resolve them which might result in:
  
   - MSGIKJ56228I which begins with the text "DATA SET <name> NOT
     IN CATALOG ...".
   - MSGCKR0911 which begins with the text "ISGENQ RC=04 ...".
   - MSGCKR1714 which begins with the text "Directory entry record
     truncated ...".
  
   and some others messages due to the failure to obtain an ENQ
   on CKFREEZE data set being processed by zSecure.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Admin/Audit has been modified so that it resolves system
  symbols provided in the DSN argument of the ALLOCATE CARLa
  statement.
