  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Customer with multiple environments require the ZDMF libraries
    to have an extra low level qualifier, for instance:
    
    Standard supplied libraries end with SGZDxLIB, their requirement
    is for SGZDxLIB.xxxx where xxxx denotes the environment.
    
    Invocation of TSO Monitor SGZDELIB(GZDZDMF) fails even though
    all libraries had the low level qualifier.
    
    This modification will allow the addition of the LLQ while also
    allowing the standard naming convention.
    

Local fix

  • A local change for GZDZDMF has been sent to the customer.
