    DFHRMUTL utility program does not provide output when it is run
    using ZOAU command 'mvscmd'. DFHRMUTL has successfully completed
    but fails to pass the SYSOUT to the command line and ends with
    following ZOAU error messages:
    
    BGYSC0266E Error freeing DDName SYSIN from stdin.
    BGYSC0265E Error freeing DDName SYSPRINT from console.
    
    The SYSIN and SYSPRINT DCBs are not being closed in the program
    and this resulted in ZOAU to throw the error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code has been added to DFHRMUTL program to close the SYSIN and
    SYSPRINT DCBs before the termination of the program.
