Jon,

The third link is the same as the first ... perhaps it should point to some other article?

Thanks,

We raised a number of potential production concerns re RCAC in this 2014 blog post:

Subsequently we revisited the issue later that same year based on a comment by Kent Milligan (which weirdly no longer appears on the blog):

http://ibmsystemsmag.com/blogs/idevelop/archive/who-was-that-masked-man--or-that-masked-value-/ <http://ibmsystemsmag.com/blogs/idevelop/archive/who-was-that-masked-man--or-that-masked-value-/>

That second blog referenced the article that Kent Milligan wrote on the way that IBM suggest the issues be handled. That article is here:

Don't know if you have seen those pieces. We have not revisited the topic since moving to V7.3 but I'm not aware of any changes since V7.2.
