  generated by zSecure Audit for ACF2 might incorrectly report the
  "SVC scan hit" audit concern with priority 21 for ACF2 SVCs
  invoked from some IBM supplied SVC's (like "EXCP/XDAP" (SVC 0),
  "TCBEXCP" (SVC 92), and "EXCPVR" (SVC 114).
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit for ACF2 has been updated so that ACF2 SVCs
  invoked by IBM supplied SVCs are not flagged with the "SVC scan
  hit" audit concern by the "Supervisor Call Audit Display" report
  (newlist type SVC).
