TSO/E RC 20 Reason Code 56 Invocation Error for EYU9XENF Command Due to Unauthorized Library in STEPLIB

Troubleshooting


Problem

You follow the instructions to add EYU9XENF to the TSO authorized command table. But, when you enter the command from ISPF as "TSO EYU9XENF" you receive the following message text: Authorized command 'EYU9XENF'. Return code = 20 . Reason code = 56 . Invocation error - System error encountered invoking authorized command 'EYU9XENF'.

Symptom

If the command is invoked from TSO READY outside of ISPF, the following messages are received:

IKJ5664I EYU9XENF ENDED DUE TO ERROR+

If you enter "?" for additional information you receive:

IKJ5664I SYSTEM ABEND CODE 047 REASON CODE 00000000

The Abend047 indicates an unauthorized program issued a restricted SVC .

Cause

The message is coming from the TSO/E command service facility IKJEFTSR as part of the TSO command processor. The TSO/E Programming Services manual documents the return and reason codes from IKJEFTSR . The return code 20 and reason code 56 indicate the command is authorized but could not be found in an authorized library.

The library in STEPLIB would lose authorization if a non-authorized library was also in the STEPLIB concatenation.

Resolving The Problem

Ensure that all libraries in the TSO users STEPLIB concatenation are authorized. You can verify the active STEPLIB by issuing a TSO LISTALC command to see the library allocation.
Alternatively, invoke EYU9XENF using a TSO batch job as follows:
 

//EYU9XENF JOB (nnnn),'userid',CLASS=A,REGION=32M,MSGCLASS=A,
// NOTIFY=userid
//EYU9XENF EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// REGION=2M,DYNAMNBR=99
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&HLQ..SEYUAUTH
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
EYU9XENF
/*

Replace the userid with your TSO userid, nnnn with job account information and &HLQ with the CICSPlex SM (CPSM) high level qualifier of the SEYUAUTH dataset.
