If the program is in AR mode, issue the SYSSTATE ASCENV=AR macro before IXCCFCM. SYSSTATE ASCENV=AR tells the system to generate code appropriate for AR mode.

The use of the IXCCFCM service must be controlled through the z/OS® Security Server, which includes RACF®, or your installation's security package. The security administrator must define a resource profile for the resource name 'MVSADMIN.XCF.CFRM' in the FACILITY class. This profile should already be defined for using the IXCMIAPU utility on an active CFRM couple data set. UPDATE access authority must be given to the recovery manager to allow the recovery manager to use IXCCFCM. Any attempt to use IXCCFCM will fail if the profile is not defined or UPDATE authority is not granted.
