Re: Prestart jobs QDASSINIT, QZAINIT, QZDASOINIT failing

Simon

You are correct that it shoujld be MCH3601. I realise that it could be an
IBM coding defect but I am not yet satisfied that I loaded the PTFs
correctly. When I do work with PTF groups, group SF99530 says "Not
installed" yet if I display the group, some PTFs are temporarily, some
permanently applied, some not found, some supeerseded. If some are
permanently applied, I am not sure ho the system can say not installed.
Trouble is, I have had to touch PTFs for some long time and have may
forgotten something very basic.


Any ideas?

Many thanks

The joblog for QZDASOINIT shows

I have checked QUSER profile, etc. and that seems OK.

Generally MCH37601 relates to incorrect parameters being passed but
in this
instance it is an OS/400 problem. I believe that I have installed
all the
correct PTFs but of course I may have missed something. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help again.

There is no such message as MCH37601 so I presume it is MCH3601. That
generally indicates a coding defect. Trying to reference a pointer
that is not set. Since this is in IBM code that is an APAR condition
(unless caused by user-written code neglecting to pass in a parameter
etc.) in which case you should ensure you are current on PTFs, search
the IBM Support database for MSGMCH3601 and QZDACRTP, and if no
resolution then open a PMR.
