Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  •      Enhancements have been made to the RACF RACUT200 and
    RACUT400 utilities so that the utilities no longer require user
    input when being run.  The RACUT200 and RACUT400 utilities now
    accept as command line arguments all required input.
         The updated RACUT200 and RACUT400 utilites are documented
    in z/VM 7.4.0 in RACF Security Server Systems Programmer's Guide
    (SC24-6312-74) available at the z/VM web site
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zvm/7.4
