CBT FILE019 - Command - 0C4

I installed the CBT FILE019 - Command. There were no special instructions, except that program had to be APF authorized. So I did an assemble and link edit into a library that is APF authorized. I then did a F LLA,REFRESH. But when I run the program I get an 0C4. SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C4

Re: Dynamic Steplib and z/OS 2.3?

The issue is not foreground vs background. The issue is that MVS and its predecessors have never provided a service to change TCBJLB after a task has been attached, so there may be ways in which programs assume that such a change will not occur. We believe that it would be dangerous to

Since I was a wee programmer trainee, I've wondered why such a fuss is made about TSO execution when almost anyone who can logon to TSO can concoct a random set of JCL cards and SUBMIT them. Including STEPLIB to any library the user has SAF access to. Why do we worry so much more about

I am probably veering the topic.. or into oncoming traffic.. but.. why let that dissuade me? STEPLIB/JOBLIB is marked as being APF or not-APF when it is referenced (my understanding... I am sure there is a more accurate description ). I am assuming that to maintain integrity, the dynamic

Re: Dynamic Steplib and z/OS 2.3?

Jim Mulder is perfectly correct. We will never provide such a function. There are assumptions made within the system based on things it knows about how steplib and joblib are created. If the CBT tape program does not happen to meet all of those assumptions, I have no idea what will happen.
