[Info-vax] Some part of VMS attempting to execute SYSUAF.DAT

[GerMarsh]

I have seen an intermittent problem when a program using Websphere MQ routines attempts to execute the UAF data file. Bit like this...

 Terminal name:            FTA98:
Image name:               DSA6:[OFFICEMAN.][DECSUPP.MQ_DEV]MQPUT.EXE;2
Object class name:        FILE
Object owner:             [SYSTEM]
Object protection:        SYSTEM:RWED, OWNER:RWED, GROUP:, WORLD:
File name:                _DSA300:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]SYSUAF.DAT;1
File ID:                  (20,1,0)
Access requested:         EXECUTE

I am pretty sure that I have seen such alarms with some VMS programs too.

I apologise profusely if I have missed some newsgroup article or even HP patch list which covers this but damned if I can find it!

Anyone any idea why any program routine would try to execute a data file?
