I don't have a problem with that, but it should be mentioned in the migration manual. The message wasn't even documented in the z/OS 1.8 messages manual. I found the message documented in OA19503 (closed DOC). The message was added in 1.8 base in response to APAR OA13500 which was closed FIN in a prior release. Another problem ... (does anyone from DFSMS monitor this list now?): Whoever is responsible for getting the APAR added to IBMLINK or retain or however it is done did not add the proper keywords. If you search for MSGIGD17295I - you come up empty. If you search for IGD17295I you can find the apar.
