The values of several fields have been expanded beyond their r11.3 limits, which were 0-255. Some restrictions remain in place. All related panels, commands, and reports are modified to accept the change. No screen positions are changed because the new maximum value 999 fits within the space occupied (for example, 255).
The value of this JCL index number can now range from 0 through 999. Index number 254 is still reserved for the JCL override library. Index number 255 is reserved for any data sets referred with a JCL index (&aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa).
This field specifies the CA WA CA 7 Edition security identification. The field is not the user ID of the person that is logged on to the product. The value of this field can now range from 0 through 999. The default value of 0 still means that there is no internal security protection. The value of 255 is reserved and grants all security access.
If your security UID table is mentioned on the SECURITY,NAME= initialization statement (SASSUID or equivalent), you must reassemble and relink it.
The SASSXX07 data set resource exit has a parameter list. This parameter list has changed to process a two-byte UID. If you have an SASSXX07 exit, see the Systems Programming Guide for the parameter list changes.
The value of the SCHID can now range from 0 through 999.
As with any release, any user programs, exits, and so forth, that use CA WA CA 7 Edition macros, must be reassembled and relinked using the Version 12.0 version of the macros. This group includes a UID table, if there is one.
Change all JCL, including CA 7, reports (SASSHIS8, CA Earl, CA Easytrieve, and other), and user programs that use CA WA CA 7 Edition libraries to point to the appropriate Version 12.0 libraries.
Note: We suggest that customers do not take advantage of these expanded fields until after conversion to the CA Datacom/AD database is complete and validated. If it becomes necessary to revert to an earlier database, fields in the range 256-999 require handling on an exception basis. Sample job AL2DCR10 can be used to identify elements using expanded IDs.
