Commentary

Friday, December 9, 2016 at 02:29:01 am    Code is intended to adapt TNDVAR's handling of &TICKET to build the parameter list required by the RACF PassTicket routine, get into Key zero, invoke PassTicket, exit Key zero, then provide the 8 character PassTicket for inclusion in INITIAL-DATA strings. When a failure occurs (assuming the patch works as intended), the resulting PassTicket will say NOUSER if there's no Userid, NOTARGET if the Application TARGET isn't set properly, or ERR nnnn where nnnn is the return code returned from the PassTicket routine. NOTE: This patch has NOT been validated for operation at this time (work continues to complete verification).

Friday, January 13, 2017 at 10:48:14 am    Initial verification of the PTF failed (no difference in result). Turns out TNDVAR was incorrectly associating &TICKET with &DATEC (explaining why a Date always appeared when using &TICKET). PTF adjusted to force TNDVAR to pass control for &TICKET to the correct processing routine to translate it properly and, by implication, properly giving control to the functional portions of this PTF.

Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at 10:27:45 am    After adjustment, Director no longer interpreted &TICKET as &DATEC, but...simply left the literal 'TICKET' in the stream instead of replacement. Frustration mounted on NRS end trying to do this with a PTF, so we opted to change the PTF to invoke TNDEXT40. Once the PTF works properly, we should be able to deal with PassTicket support in a source routine (specifically, TNDEXT40, which is available from Technical Support - once we manage to get this validated, that is).

Monday, August 13, 2018 at 10:04:29 am    No feedback from customer after delivery of EXT40, closed during Sunset processing.
