GEN001901 - Local initialization files library search paths must contain only authorized paths.

Information

The library search path environment variable(s) contain a list of directories for the dynamic linker to search to find libraries. If this path includes the current working directory or other relative paths, libraries in these directories may be loaded instead of system libraries. This variable is formatted as a colon-separated list of directories, such as a leading or trailing colon, two consecutive colons, or a single period this is interpreted as the current working directory. Paths starting with a slash (/) are absolute paths.

Solution

Edit the local initialization file and remove any relative path entries that have not been documented with the ISSO.

Remove any empty path entries that are defined in these files.
