Re: Clear_Tdisk question
In that case, maybe it is time to report a security bug to the Support Center. :( The description of Write Count, Key, and Data does say that the rest of the track is erased; however, it does not say how effective the erasure is. Apparently, not very. I wonder what XRC is doing to be able to see the rest of the track. The normal CCWs documented in GA32-0099-06 do not appear to be capable of doing it. Maybe what is needed is an obliterating write instead of a formatting write.

This is reminiscent of the HTT codes that are sometimes encountered. It seems that all of the HTT codes had exactly the same description. IBM was supportive when I pointed out that they at least could point me in the general direction of what caused the ABEND without giving away the family jewels. The problems I was having appeared to be related to 3rd party software, but I had no way of knowing or even guessing. They did change the documentation as a result of the RCFs they received. In addition to the suggested PMR, I suggest submitting an RCF. You might get a little better description of the problem, at least in a future release or version of the system.
