Error trying execute a shell on z/OS
Colleagues, somebody can help me to find what happen when i try to execute a shell in z/OS? the error is this: Errno=82x The exec call contained a format error; Reason=5B4B000D. Press Enter to continue. The route of the shell has been the same and i´ve been executed always sucessfully but unexpectedly begins to fail this exec request; always i select the option SELECT RUN METHOD: DIRECT to execute the shell Thanks. > Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:13:30 -0600 > From: wfarr...@us.ibm.com > Subject: Re: Passw protection out RACF rules with z/OS resources for userid. > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > > On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:00:00 -0600, Carlos Cordero > wrote: > > >Yeah! the application really needs a password (because many people who > improperly attempt to >use it knows the userid, so would be access with no > restrictions and that is a very dangerous >situation) , PROTECTED attribute > had been discarded for this purpose. > > You can't logon using a PROTECTED user ID, unless you have some very odd > application that does not request a password at all, and then tells RACF not > to check a password.

Carlos, What system are you running on? z/OS? What release? z/VM? What release? Linux on z? Which distro? Something else? I don't recognize the above. Could you be more specific on what kind of "shell" you are talking about? Do you mean a UNIX shell? If so, are you trying to start it by using TSO, then the OMVS command? If not, then what? What confuses me is the "SELECT RUN MEHTOD: DIRECT" which I do not recognize at all. -- John -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Error trying execute a shell on z/OS
Carlos, >From looking at Mark's post, I have a few questions: 1) is the file you're trying to run marked with the eXecutable bit in the directory. Be sure that when you check, you check the proper one (ie, the "owner" and the "group" and the "other" section of the attributes). 2) If it is executable, can you BROWSE it in ISHELL? If so, does it look like readable text or "a bunch of binary junk". 3) if it is text, does the first line start with something like: #!/bin/sh The important part is the "#!" which is a "magic" which tell UNIX to run the rest of the line as a UNIX command. Also, make sure that what is after the "#!" is valid as a UNIX executable program (not another shell script). 4) if it is "binary junk", does the first line when you browse it start with: IEWPLMH That is what tells UNIX that this is a binary (compiled) program. -- John -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Error trying execute a shell on z/OS
I thought that the exec call which is being invoked by the ishell only supports program objects or REXX execs. I think that there are other options that will invoke the shell to run the command, such as "Run a shell command" from the "Tools" menu. I suspect that "run method direct" causes exec to be used.

Re: Error trying execute a shell on z/OS
I execute the shell as next: 1) In TSO SDSF session, exec the command "TSO ISH" 2) Then i select the folder where the shell is located. 3) Once inside, put an X to execute it. 4) It open a screen with the METHOD options, I select #1 (Direct) Then, appears the error. The purpose of the shell is to read a configuration file (XML) of locations definitions, then the script generates a XML output files for a product that needs these locations.

Re: Error trying execute a shell on z/OS
From "UNIX System Services Message & Codes": Function = execl(), program name = '/bin/login', errno = 157 (X'009D'), 157 009D EMVSERRA MVS environmental or internal error has occurred. reason code = 5B4B000D, All HFS reason codes are one word (4 bytes) in length. The first byte is the subcomponent ID. For the HFS, this is X'5B'. The second byte is the module ID. X'4B' GFUGLOOK The third and fourth bytes are the module-defined reason. 000D HFS_RSN_Sync_Write_Protect_Error The Write_Protect field in the first VDF page on disk doesn't match the field that was filled in the HFS file system control block at the mount time.
