Yes, We are one of the 'lucky' ones to experience this first hand. It took awhile to find out what the problem was, as we saw no TSSxxxxx messages pointing to the error, just an AEXZ abend. IBM gave us the direction towards CA.
I spoke with the technical support manager for CA-Top Secret and he told me what the issue was; There is a storage overlay in the date field area with a 'C1'. If we did nothing, Top Secret would work fine tomorrow as the date area in error, only affected today's date. I told him I needed the fix as soon as it gets out of the 'test' phase, today. Still waiting........

Anyone else experienced this problem? Our CICS regions have been down since 6 AM CDT Saturday due to AEXZ abend in CEMT. This was reported to IBM who referred us to CA. CA confirmed the problem and provided maintenance to Top Secret. We've rolled back to TS 8.0 as an interim for some of our systems that were still zOS 1.6. Several additional companies in addition to us have reported the same problem. No golf today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
