Ok. Thanks. It helps to know that it is the same position since Roman Empire. >>>IBM has opened APAR OA52268, so in the meantime you best trap both >>>occurrences of the message. >>I don't see that APAR, but will probably see it later this month. >If was opened last week, so it will probably be visible soon. Thanks. I'll look at it later this week. Is this APAR only for misaligned IEC386S? Or are other messages also affected? >> Question: At what z/OS level is this APAR applicable? >Don't know, we encountered it at z/OS V2.1. Thanks. I'll warn my colleagues about this. >>Is that a x'40' or is that a unprintable character? >It's a blank. Good. That is a good reason for an APAR. I have a look at our IGGCATxx member and we don't have any invalid words or syntax errors there. We usually look at Syslog using eyeballs, not automation software for any strange messages just after IPL. Thanks for this head-up!
