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 **********************************
000001  /* CKRCMD file CKR1CMD complex TSTPLEX NJE <LOCAL> generated 19 Nov -

000003  /* CKRCMD file CKRT1CMD complex TSTPLEX NJE <LOCAL> generated 19 Nov -

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.

Hello Rob,
Please excuse me for only responding now. I was laid up with an infection.
I followed up on your suggestions. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any errors. The panel ID is correct, the version is correct, and the procedures are pulled from the correct libraries. I ran all the traces that zSecure has to offer, but couldn't find any difference compared to the other systems. I even built traces into the CKRRERUN. But even the panel calls (including the edit macro) are the same.
Best regards
Stephan

Hi Rob,
We solved the mystery. It wasn't a zSecure-specific problem. It was a system-wide problem with the concatenation of the ISP command table. When importing the APFs to version 3.1 (z/Os), links from members that do not exist on the specific system were transferred.
So, if something like this happens again somewhere, you know what to do :)
Thank you very much for your help and have a nice weekend.
Stephan
