Running the EPSPT against a TZONE SMP/E 34.13 on z/OS 1.7 and receive:

Report Level:1.04.4 Last Update:2005/08/17
For target zone S2#OSO
MSG 004: SYSTEM ERROR: Target Zone Not Valid

The EPSPT program is downloaded from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/s390/pspapartool/ at each run.

I am able to access the subject TZONE, S2#OSO, via SMP/E(34.13) ISPF dialogue.

EPSPT has been running on our z/OS 1.4 system for some time (SMP/E 32.16)

I also note that if I give a bogus TZONE name on z/OS1.4 SMP/E I get the same message.

I also ran the tool against the an OEM TZONE on z/OS 1.7 and it ran fine.

So, I wonder if maybe the EPSPT is incorrectly \"internalizing\" the name, S2#OSO? Perhaps the \"#\" character is problematic?

That IS the complete error message. Remember this is coming from EPSPT so the documentation is sketchy at best.

I get some output from epspt but I also get 0C4 abend so I haven't convinced myself to trust it very much.

I have been using EPSPT for a while and have only encountered this problem with z/OS 1.7. I do not believe it is an SMP/E issue <i>per se</i>. I have not encountered S0C4 .
