Having had a couple of years of experience in our hybrid RACF/TSS sysplex I can sum up the compatibility matrix.
Most things work, some things don't. The ones that don't, quit doing them. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Rowe Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 5:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ICH409I 283-054 ABEND DURING FRACINIT PROCESSING I think you might have mis-read the APAR text. It's not that Top Secret's ENVR object is necessarily larger than RACF's, the APAR states that the first word in Top Secret's ENVR does not contain the length, so it does not conform to the same format as RACF's ENVR, period. The way I see it, Top Secret's ENVR may even be the same size as RACF's. If Top Secret is not going to bother conforming to the RACF format, then why should IBM try to conform to their's? I don't think I would want IBM to spend the time (money) trying to "fix" this code when it's working as designed. There are far too few customers that are likely to be affected by this to make it worthwhile. The "fix" would be far larger than just changing the size of the RACF ENVR. >>> "Robert A. Rosenberg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/23/2008 4:48 PM >>> As was stated up-thread the error explanation is: The ENVRIN keyword was specified and the ENVR object contained in the ENVR object storage area was larger than the ENVR object storage area specified. Based on this, I'd guess that Top Secret uses a larger ENVR object than RACF. Thus its buffer is large enough to support the smaller RACF object but RACF does not allocate a larger enough buffer to accept a Top Secret ENVR object. The "fix" is to APAR the issue (since the bug is 10 years old) by having IBM increase the fixed size buffer or supply a PARM to alter its size.
