IBM z/OS V1R8 problem with duplicate DD names on SDSF JDS panel:

IBM z/OS V1R8 has the ability to display dummy DD names for jobs with INPUT ON. With this change, however, there is a problem in that duplicate DD names are being displayed on the System Search and Display (SDSF) JDS panel for jobs with INPUT ON specified. This SDSF 1.8 error is addressed with IBM APAR PK36183. The issue will be pursued in a future IBM z/OS release.

  

IBM z/OS V1R7 support for RACF mixed-case passwords

IBM z/OS V1R7 contains a RACF enhancement to allow for use of mixed-case passwords. If you decide to enable this, and you are using one of the sample RACF security exits supplied by Systemware (JHSSEC14, JHSSEC18, or JHSSEC24), you will want to make sure you have C03520 applied. Following is a cross-reference of C03520 SYSMOD ID to supported release:
Release 4.2.0: SWJL148
Release 4.1.0: SWJH261
