In SAS 9, the Spawner environment uses the /bin/tso USS command to run
the remote SAS server. This command uses the TSO Environment Service
(IKJTSOEV) which is an unauthorized command.  Therefore, authorized
services are not supported such as MOUNT requests, and writing to the
INTRDR. Note this also affects support for virtual tape devices due to
it's need for the authorized MOUNT command.

There are several circumventions listed in the following SAS Note:

   #011807 

These circumventions may require changes in code or are not feasible for
other reasons.

An alternative to these circumventions is to use a different environment
that allows authorized services. You can do this by using the USS
command/utility "tsocmd".  This utility is not shipped with USS but is
available for download at the following website:

  http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/unix/bpxa1ty2.html

Instructions for downloading this USS utility can be found at the
same URL by clicking on the readme link or by going to the URL below:

  ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/s390/zos/tools/tsocmd/tsocmd.readme.txt

After downloading and implementing the tsocmd command/utility in USS,
one change in the spawner's shell script is neccessary.  Edit the
following statement in the shell script:

For SAS/CONNECT Spawner change:
    cmd="/bin/tso -t EX 'sasprefix.CNTL(SPNCC91)' '"
to
    cmd="/bin/tsocmd EX 'sasprefix.CNTL(SPNCC91)' '"

For SAS/Integration Technologies Object Spawner:
    cmd="/bin/tso -t EX 'sasprefix.CNTL(SPNOC91)'"
to
    cmd="/bin/tsocmd EX 'sasprefix.CNTL(SPNOC91)'"


A requirement has been open with IBM to add support for the USS command
"tsocmd". To add support for this requirement, please contact IBM and
reference MR0928042518.
