  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Audit exploiting the        *
  *                 'DSNPREF=' allocation option for ACCESS,     *
  *                 ASSERT, CKXLOG, and SMF data sets.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Audit might issue MSGCKR2015    *
  *                      and MSGCKR2055 in cases where the       *
  *                      'DSNPREF=' allocation option refers to  *
  *                      PDS(E) data sets.                       *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided and review the        *
  *                 documentation updates.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  When the 'DSNPREF=' allocation option refers to a PDS(E) data
  set(s), the zSecure Audit issues MSG2015 which begins with the
  text 'Unsupported ASSERT file format...' and MSGCKR2055 which
  begins with the text 'Invalid assertion record...'. Other
  messages (depending on the data set TYPE being allocated) might
  be issued as well.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit has been modified, so that PDS(E) data set
  referred by the 'DSNPREF=' allocation option are ignored.
  Please note the documentation updates as provided by the APAR
