Closed as program error.

Error description
Customer is running WebSphere for z/OS v5.1.  He recently
migrated to z/OS 1.6.  At 1.6 the GSKSSL modules have now been
moved from GSK.SGSKLOAD to a pds named SIEALNKE (for example
SYS1.SIEALNKE).  However, the System Location panel of the
WebSphere Installation dialog still references the GSK.SGSKLOAD
library.  This is correct for prior versions of z/OS.  The
customer feels that this change should somehow be noted for
customers who are running at z/OS 1.6.  For WebSphere v6, this
panel contains the line:
.
(leave SGSKLOAD blank if all systems are at z/OS 1.6 or above)
.
This message should be added to the WebSphere v5 dialog panels
as well.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: At z/OS v1.5, the SYSTEM SSL modules    *
*                      were stored in the SGSKLOAD data set.   *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
Since it's incorrect to reference the SGSKLOAD library for
z/OS v1.6 users, the dialog panel field "SGSKLOAD" will be
changed to a more approriate label "SYSTEM SSL".
Problem conclusion
Panel BBOWPS11 will be updated so that the field name
"SGSKLOAD" will read "SYSTEM SSL".

APAR PK08751 requires changes to documentation.

A change to the V5.0 WebSphere Application Server Information
Center will be made with the next refresh.  To access the latest
online documentation, go to the product library page at:

 www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/library/

The change is to files

tins_dialogsteps_setvars2
tins_dialogsteps_setvars3
tins_dialogsteps_selvars4

In these work sheets, SGSKLOAD has been replaced with System SSL
with no default listed.

In tins_lpa, the text was updated as follows:
    System data sets

        Place the SCEERUN, SCEERUN2 and System SSL load module
        libraries in the system link list or link pack area
        if possible.

        In z/OS Version 1 Release 6, the contents of the System
        SSL data set SGSKLOAD were merged into
        the SIEALNKE system data set.

        If you chose to place SGSKLOAD in the link list or link
        pack area on your pre-z/OS Version 1 Release 6
        systems, then place SIEALNKE in the link list or link
        pack area on your z/OS systems at Version 1 Release 6
        and above.  Ths will allow you to share WebSphere
        Application Server cataloged procedures
        across your z/OS systems.

        If you chose not to place SGSKLOAD in the link list or
        link pack area on your pre-z/OS Version 1 Release 6
        systems,  then you will need to make separate copies of
        the WebSphere Application Server cataloged
        procedures to use on your z/OS systems at Version 1
        Release 6 and above.

        Select one of the following options.
        - If SIEALNKE is in the link list or link pack area on
        your z/OS systems at Version 1 Release 6 and above,
        remove SGSKLOAD from the STEPLIB concatenation in each
        cataloged procedure, and remove
        SGSKLOAD from the STEPLIB variable in each
        <WAS_home>/bin/setupCmdLine.sh script for those
        nodes running on z/OS Version 1 Release 6 (or above)
        systems.

        - If SIEALNKE is not  in the link list or link pack area
        on your z/OS systems at Version 1 Release 6 and above,
        change the SGSKLOAD reference in the STEPLIB
        concatenation in each cataloged procedure to SIEALNKE,
        and change the the SGSKLOAD reference in the STEPLIB
        variable in each <WAS_home>/bin/setupCmdLine.sh
        script to SIEALNKE, for those nodes running on z/OS
        Version 1 Release 6 (or above) systems.
