Comments

  • The RACF database templates are changed with this APAR. The
    updated version string is:
    
    $/VERSION OA48359 00000199.00000032
    
    As part of this enhancement, new keywords are added to the
    ALTUSER command.
    
    Note that neither ISPF panel nor TSO HELP support is provided
    for the new command keywords.
    
    Note that when commands are propagated in an RRSF network,
    command behavior on the target system depends on the release
    and service level in effect on the target system.
