z/OS Unix file updates need pathname in SMF type 80 under ISPF

For monitoring WRITE access to USS objects the resulting SMF type 80 records do not provide pathname when using ISPF 3.17 to edit objects. Under these conditions the file descriptors are shown.

Please consider update to ISPF and ISHELL to use FOPEN instead to record the actual pathname used.

Referenced PMR contains test samples and related documentation.
