I have a process that has been working great until today. All of a sudden I am getting a IEE707I message when attempting to issue a MVS START command from my program. The funny thing is, my APF authorized program fails for some starts and not others and I use an identical assembler command to issue the different starts. Here is the message I am getting:
IEE707I S NOT EXECUTED Here is what is says in the messages manual: IEE707Icm yyy NOT EXECUTED Explanation: Before processing command cm yyy, MVS presented the command to all subsystems that monitor commands. Based on the response returned, MVS did not process the command for one of the following reasons: One or more subsystems intentionally failed the command with a return code of 8. One or more subsystems issued a return code that was not valid. The command installation exit issued a return code of 8. System programmer response: Determine why the subsystem or the installation exit routine rejected the command. The return code could be a valid, non-error return code. My questions are: How do I determine what subsystems or installation exit routine rejected the command? I resist IPLing because it might fix the problem and then I will never know what went wrong. What changes could cause this problem? Note: To rule out any recent changes to my application causing the problem, I attempted to execute a version that was two releases old and got the same result. The only difference I can see between the start commands that are failing and the ones that are working is that the ones that fail have binary data in the command (enclosed in apostropies). The ones that work have lower case characters (enclosed in apostrophies). Here are the commands: S TESTAS,A=' ? Q ',V=V8M2 <== Fails on an IEE707I message S TESTSY,V=V8M2,PM='/S0W1/var/log/%Y/%m/%d/errors' <=== works I do not know where to turn... Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
