Fix Recommendation

The ISSO working with the systems programmer will ensure the Facility Matrix Table for Quest NC-Pass is proper defined using the following example:

*****NCPASS
FAC(USERxx=NAME=NCPASS,PGM=NCS,ID=nn,ACTIVE,NOASUBM)
FAC(NCPASS=LUMSG,STMSG,NORNDPW,WARNPW,MODE=FAIL)
FAC(NCPASS=LOG(SMF,INIT,MSG,SEC9),UIDACID=8,LOCKTIME=000)

Check Contents

Refer to the following reports produced by the TSS Data Collection:

- TSSCMDS.RPT(FACLIST) - Preferred report containing all control option values in effect including default values.
- TSSCMDS.RPT(TSSPRMFL) - Alternate report containing only control option values explicitly coded at TSS startup.

If the Quest NC-Pass Facility Matrix table is defined as stated below, this is not a finding.

FACILITY DISPLAY FOR NCPASS
INITPGM=NCS ID=14 TYPE=099
ATTRIBUTES=IN-USE,ACTIVE,SHRPRF,NOASUBM,NOABEND,MULTIUSER,NOXDEF
