PK49629: ABEND S283-4C WHEN EXECUTING A LIST.SUBSYSTEM IN A BATCH JOB.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When executing in a batch job and performing a DBRC list.subsys
  command results in an abend S283-4C.
  Explanation: An error was detected by RACF in the parameters
  passed to RACF for RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY processing
  4C The ACEE specified does not appear to be a valid ACEE
  
  The code in DSP00MVS at APAR/PTF level PK27749/UK22269 incorrect
  ly accesses the ASXB block to obtain the ACEE.
  

Local fix

• Remove this fix or avoid using DBRC in batch. This is a hit or
  miss error and my not be experienced by all batch users.
  There is no problems or changes needed for online systems.
  

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All IMS V9 users of DBRC command             *
  *                 authorization with PK27749 or UK22269        *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND283-4C executing DBRC utility      *
  *                      DSPURX00                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  ABEND283-4C occurs when running DBRC command stream with
  DSPURX00.  Only occurs when a security product is to be called
  for command authorization (CMDAUTH is SAF or BOTH).
  
  PK27749 added code to use the default ACEE for command
  authorization in a batch environment.  The ACEE address was
  supposed to be obtasined from field ASXBSENV in the ASXB
  but the code mistakenly used the ASCB address instead of the
  ASXB address.  The value obtained was the first fullword of
  field ASCBSRBT, which contains accumulated SRB time.  The value
  was usually zero, which also caused the default ACEE to be used,
  but when non-zero it would cause a failure in the FASTAUTH
  request.
  

Problem conclusion

• AIDS: RIDS/DBRC RIDS/CNTRL DBRC CNTRL
    GEN:
  
  *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
  DSP00MVS was using a pointer to the ASCB when obtaining an ACEE
  address from ASXBSENV.  It will now use the ASXB address.
