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. Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO Performance and Availability Management mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (office) 301.986.3574
