SDSF should issue a warning message and just safely ignore them. It should not 
affect any other keywords on the same statement.

This is especially important as some customers share ISFPRMxx amongst 3 
different levels of z/OS.

Subject: Obsolete parameters - problem ahead?

EXTERNAL EMAIL





Hi!
It is frequent, for some configuration options of IBM products, to become 
obsolete. When the product is started, these options are normally detected as 
OBSOLETE and IGNORED. In your experience, is there a real risk that newer 
versions, instead of just recognizing them as obsolete, stop recognizing them 
and cause a real problem (for instance, not processing the configuration member 
from that specific line, or directly abending the start)?
Just for the record, I have detected such obsolete options in SDSF and ICSF. Of 
course, the best way would be to address the problem by just deleting (or 
commenting) these obsolete options. But I am not the sysprog (I am a RACF 
admin).
Thanks in advance for your help,
Juan Mautalen
