  • 1.  GO, RUN, and SUB can no longer be executed

    Posted 22 hours ago

    Hello,
    We suddenly have a problem on an LPAR where it is no longer possible to use GO, RUN, or SUB in the editor. It looks as if we have ended up in the standard editor. Unlike usual, there is no indication at the top that GO or RUN should be entered to execute the commands. All traces, allocation checks, etc. have yielded no results. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? All LPARS have the same software version.

    Panel:

    Command ===>                                                          Scroll ===> CSR  
    ****** ********************************* Top of Data **********************************

    000005 addgroup #FUNCGRP +

    Stephan,

    This is done by call to to the ISPF editor with options MACRO(CKREDITZ) PANEL(C2RP3EDI).

    By issuing PANELID in ISPF, you can at least quickly verify the panel name in the top left corner.

    Stephan,

    The CKREDITZ macro is a Rexx program located in SCKRCLIB, this library is allocated to the TSO session using an ALTLIB command.

    You observation that the RACF commands are presented in a normal EDIT window without the message that SUB and RUN may be used suggests that CKREDITZ from the SCKRCLIB did not run.  Is there a CKREDITZ member in another Rexx/CLIST library that this LPAR uses?  Use ISRDDN in ISPF to check the allocations.

    Do you have a stub CLIST in your SYS1.CMDPROC that starts CKREMAIN, but using a version from an old zSecure release?  The release in the stub and the release in CKRPARM(C2R$PARM) should be the same.
