Resolving The Problem

* After installing maintenance for ITCAM WAS 7.1, there was an issue with APAR PM71053 (ABENDS878 IN CYN1PROC CYN1 SUBSYSTEM ) / PTF UK81687.

Here is the problem description for the error and explanations :

 "UK81687 is the latest ptf and it is ITCAM 7.1 FP3 IF4".
This PTF is just a fix for the CYN1 subsystem. If you look at the SMPTLOAD DDDEF here is the link to the documentation for SMP/e.
.
Here is a short description for the SMPTLOAD DDDEF :
 SMP/E may need to use an SMPTLOAD data set when installing

  program elements that were packaged inline. SMPTLOAD is
  required when applying or accepting a program element and
  either:
 .
 the destination data set (target or distribution library)

  is a PDS and the unloaded inline data represents a PDSE
  that contains program elements the destination data set is
  a PDSE and the unloaded inline data set has RECFM=U and is
  not a PDSE.
 .
 SMP/E dynamically allocates a new SMPTLOAD data set

  whenever one is needed.
....


* So the SCYNAUTH has been changed from a PDS to a PDSe type
dataset.  To get this to work you will need to add the DDDEF
to your SMP/e in all zones.  You could use this JCL example or do it manually :
.
//SMPTLOAD EXEC PGM=GIMSMP,REGION=4096K
//SMPCSI   DD DISP=OLD,DSN=#globalcsi
//SMPCNTL  DD *
       SET   BDY(GLOBAL) .
       UCLIN .
         ADD DDDEF(SMPTLOAD) CYL SPACE(2,1) DIR(10)

                 UNIT(SYSALLDA) .
       ENDUCL .
       SET   BDY(#tzone) .
       UCLIN .
         ADD DDDEF(SMPTLOAD) CYL SPACE(2,1) DIR(10)

                 UNIT(SYSALLDA) .
       ENDUCL .
       SET   BDY(#dzone) .
       UCLIN .
         ADD DDDEF(SMPTLOAD) CYL SPACE(2,1) DIR(10)

                 UNIT(SYSALLDA) .
       ENDUCL .
/*
...
UK81687 is the correct maintenance level for FMID HAAD71C
