OA64009: CKF0002 04 LOCATE RETURN CODE 8 ON PROGXX LNKLST DATA SET

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CKF0002 04 LOCATE return code 8 on PROGxx LNKLST data set
  
  This message can be seen when non-existent datasets are defined
  in PROGxx members in a PARMLIB dataset which is lower in the
  PARMLIB concatentation than the PROGxx member is use by z/OS.
  
  As they are not relevant to the live system settings, the locate
  to verify these datasets exist is extraneous.
  

Local fix

• As the CKF0002 is only a warning, you can avoid seeing RC=4 in
  CKFCOLL in two ways:
  
  1) Code CKFCOLL parameter NOWARNRC - "This option can be used to
  set the CKFCOLL program return code to 0 if the original return
  code was not higher than 4." This option will still show the
  CKF0002 messages, but result in RC=0.
  
  2) Suppress the messages by coding CKFCOLL parameter SUPP=002
  
  Alternativly, removing redundant entries for non-existent
  datasets from all PROGxx members in the PARMLIB concatenation
  will mean a locate for them will not occur and CKF0002 will
  not be reported.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of zSecure Collect.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: While processing system parameter data  *
  *                      sets  (PROGxx, LPALSTxx, and/or         *
  *                      LNKLSTxx members) zSecure Collect might *
  *                      display a MSGCKF0002 for non-existing   *
  *                      data sets listed in PARMLIB members     *
  *                      with same suffix found later in the     *
  *                      PARMLIB concatenation.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When a non-existing data set is listed in a duplicate system
  parameter data set member (PROGxx, LPALSTxx, and/or LNKLSTxx)
  found in  PARMLIB library which is lower in the PARMLIB
  concatenation,  the zSecure Collect displays a MSGCKF0002 which
  begins with the text "LOCATE return code 8 on...".
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Collect is modified so that it does not process system
  parameter data sets members (PROGxx, LPALSTxx, and/or LNKLSTxx)
  in a PARMLIB library which is lower in the PARMLIB concatenation
  than the parameter data sets members used by z/OS, so that no
  MSGCKF0002 is displayed in such system configurations.
