Error description
zACS setup appears successful but when trying to run testing for specific SVC's from the shell like ('SYS1.BPN.SBPNEXEC(BPNKNSVC)' '92'), the following JCL error message shows up indicating the job fails. IEFC452I jobname - JOB NOT RUN - JCL ERROR 757 ANALYSIS: zACS code to generate internally used SVC tables to generate the testing used by commands like ('SYS1.BPN.SBPNEXEC(BPNKNSVC)' '92') occurs within BPNGSVCN relies on calls to CSVQUERY and NUCLKUP to populate it. These calls are structured in such a way that failure to obtain information on the SVC through both calls results in a module name of 8 x'40' characters. This is then not properly handled by BPNKNSVC and can result in an overly long module name which prevents the inclusion of a necessary EXEC statement. The "default" module name is intended to be "-" which would result in a usable EXEC statement. KNOWN IMPACT: zACS cannot be run to evaluate the SVC's in error. VERIFICATION STEPS: Review ZACS.SVCNUM dataset for a series of blanks following the pointer to the SVC. If this module name section is entirely blanks, then this is the same issue.
Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION: Manually edit the ZACS.SVCNUM dataset that zACS generates. Replace the 3 words of hex blanks between the module pointer and the eyecatcher for the module with non-blank values such as the following. AAAAAAAA 00000000 00000000
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of HAL47C0. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: SVC table is not being populated * * correctly when module name is not * * found. * **************************************************************** SVC table is not being populated correctly when module name is not found.
Problem conclusion
Code in BPNGSVCN has been updated to populate the SVC table with default values for missing module names.
