Error description
PSF is adding a new ABEND code to help customers quickly determine why PSF may abend in IOSVIRBA or APSCPCIA when using a CHANNEL ATTACHED printer in z/OS V2.1.0 and above. PSF requires that the IHAASVT control block be BELOW the LINE to drive channel printers. ABEND024 RC0207 RC207 is being created to alert the customer that IHAASVT cannot be located above the line. PSF message APS6517I will also be issued.
Local fix
Make sure that the current DIAGxx parmlib member does not specify CBLOC VIRTUAL31(IHAASVT). If it does, an IPL will be required to set it to VIRTUAL24.
