This isn't a CA problem; I'm just out of ideas and hoping to find someone who has a good suggestion. I have a new contractor in a TSS shop, and he's having trouble using FTP.
I set him up with TSO and the BATCH facility. He reported this error when he tried to do a batch FTP:
CEE5101C During initialization, the callable service BPX1MSS failed. The system return code was 0000000156 , the reason code was 0B0C00FC . The application will be terminated..
I found a web page (a CA page, actually) that said this error means there's no OMVS segment on his ID. Dope slap—gave him a UID. He tried it again and got the same message except now the reason code is 0B0C00FD, which it says here means he doesn't have a GID. I set him up with a group that has GID(1), and made it his default group. Still the same error.
Now that's just wrong. What else does he need? BPXMTEXT insists that reason code 0B0C00FD means he has no GID.
I had him try FTP in the foreground instead of batch. I can issue the FTP command with the IP address he specified; when he does it, he gets the same error. I think this proves it isn't anything he's doing wrong, I just have him set up wrong. But what could it be? I could use some ideas.
