Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All QMF for TSO/CICS V10.1 users who use the *
  *                 'RU' command abbreviation for RUN.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After applying the fix for PM45914,     *
  *                      users may receive DSQ20115 'RU is not a *
  *                      command.' when executing the RU command *
  *                      abbreviation for RUN.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  PM45914 added a QMF command synonym called 'RUNTSO'. The RUNTSO
  command synonym removed the ability of users to enter the
  command abbreviation 'RU' for the RUN command.  This APAR adds a
  new QMF command synonym 'RU' to the default QMF command synonym
  table to replace the lost RUN command abbrevation.
  

Problem conclusion

• QMF will add a new command synonym 'RU' that can be used for
  the RUN command as a replacement for the lost command
  abbreviation. Note that QMF generally does not recommend using
  abbreviations for QMF commands, options, or values in saved QMF
  procedures. From the QMF Version 10.1 Reference Guide:  'Because
  minimum unique abbreviations might change in future QMF
  releases, you should use the full names for commands, options,
  and values in procedures (rather than abbreviated names).'
