Customer may experience input to the CFTUTIL (CFTIN DD) may receive error when the JCL or dataset is "NUM ON".

Problem

After migrating MVS CFT to 3.3.2 (or a new install),
customer may experience an error in the input to the CFTUTIL (CFTIN DD) when the JCL or dataset has "numbering" turned on ("NUM ON") that generate the sequence numbers to be placed in columns 73 to 80.
The CFTIN DD may be instream (DD *) or PDS Member.


Example of the error message in the CFTUTIL Output:
SEND _ Failed keyword 00270001 unknown or duplicate
SEND _ Failed (PART=NEWYORK,IDF=TXT,00270001)
(The excess data "00270001" comes from the dataset's columns 73 to 80.)


The setting of TSOEDIT=YES in A12OPTS have prevented this issue in the previous version of CFT.
However, starting CFT 3.3.2, UCONF parameter: cft.mvs.sginstal.tsoedit was introduced and this overrides the option from A12OPTS (SGINSTAL).

Resolution

Set cft.mvs.sginstal.tsoedit to "yes".
This change is dynamic, and no restart of CFT is required.
