Check for message IEF188I PROBLEM PROGRAM ATTRIBUTES ASSIGNED
Explanation: The initiator found that a program to be run did not
satisfy all the requirements needed to obtain all the special properties
designated by the program name.
System Programmer Response: If no special properties are required, no
action is necessary. If special properties are required and a JOBLIB or
STEPLIB is in use, ensure that the JOBLIB or STEPLIB data sets are APF
authorized. Also ensure the special attributes 'started only' or '1-step
only' are satisfied for the required special properties.
DSNUTILB has AC=1, which implies that (in some cases, at least) it needs
"special properties". This seems similar to CICS startup, which needs
to run authorized for a portion of its initialization; thus requires
that any libraries in a STEPLIB concatenation be APF-authorized.
