    ****************************************************************
        When running the SDSF ISFACR exec, a REXX error can occur
    when processing generic profiles in the  TSOAUTH class.  REXX
    issues message "IRX0035I Error running ISFDC42M:   Invalid
    expression" because the generic profile is interpreted as an
    arithmetic operation rather than character data.
    

Problem conclusion

  •     The SDSF exec ISFDC42M has been changed to skip processing
    generic profiles in the TSOAUTH class.
