Hi,
The follow-up is that APAR OA16533 has been opened for the issue I
reported with using WSCON with system symbols in use in TCPDATA.
APAR Identifier ...... OA16533 Last Changed ........ 06/05/17
WSCON FAILS IF SYSTEM SYMBOLS USED IN TCPDATA
<SNIP>
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Invoking the WSCON ISPF command to use WSA fails with messages:
LSCX111
LSCX476
LSCX478
LSCX471
Their TCPDDATA file uses system symbols but they are not
supported in the current runtime libraries.
The problem appears to be in the Release 6.5 SAS/C runtime library
shipped with ISPF.
I already agreed to a FIN closure though that is up to the ISPF
development team. It would appear that WSA is alive and well:-) As they
pointed out in the already published z/OS R8 Preview announcement:
The ISPF workstation connect program WSCON will be designed to
auto-discover the IP address of the connected TN3270 workstation and use
this address to establish a session with the Workstation Agent. This is
expected to improve usability, because you will no longer need to be
aware of your IP address or enter it on the Initiate Workstation
Connection panel to establish a session.
ISPF client/server code will be converted to use the IBM C/C++ run-time
libraries, which can help reduce the number of C run-time libraries in
use on your system. Also, some performance improvement is expected.
