Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Receive the following message running the "SECMIGR
  OPS2RACF,DSIPARM,DSIOPF,SAFDEF" command containing a fully
  qualified file name greater than 43 characters:
  
  BNH134E THE OUTPUT MEMBER SELECTED COULD NOT BE WRITTEN TO OR
  CLOSED
  
  When we browsed the SECOPERS member in the DSILIST PDS, it only
  contained the banner page, no control cards. We also noticed
  that the date was truncated on the line where the DSILIST data
  set was mentioned.

  *                      header JCL records are written to the   *
  *                      file with one or two records truncated  *
  *                      but with no data records.               *

  ****************************************************************
  CNME8004 dynamically creates the output records written to the
  output file but it does not check to ensure the records are no
  more than 80 columns wide and they are not formatted such that
  checking is unnecessary. When CNME8004 attempts to write records
  wider than 80 columns, the EXECIO command used to write the
  records encounters an error and returns a bad return code.
  CNME8004 checks the return code and if it is bad, issues the
  reported error message. The data for that EXECIO request is
  still written to the output file but records over 80 colunms
  wide are truncated. Subsequent EXECIO commands are not executed.
  

Problem conclusion

• CNME8004 is being changed to format the output JCL header
  records such that none of these records will exceed 80
  characters unless the maximum data set name allowed by z/OS
  exceeds 44 characters.
  Commas were found to be missing in the command help for SECMIGR.
  Changes to the SECMIGR command syntax should be made in the
  IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Command Reference Volume 2 (O - Z)
  Version 6 Release 1 (SC27-2848-01) under the SECMIGR command
  description, in the SECMIGR command syntax diagram as follows:
  Change the syntax diagram for each of the SECMIGR option syntax
  diagrams (i.e. Ops2Racf, Spn2Racf, Scp2Tbl, Tbl2Racf, Scp2Racf,
  Spn2Tbl) to include a comma after the option name. For example:
                   .-DSIPARM-.
  |-- OPS2RACF--,--+---------+--,--
                   '-oper_dd-'
  The online command help is being changed to reflect the above
  publication changes.
