Error description
You are looking at a CICS system dump in IPCS, formatting the KE or kernel domain. When looking at a stack you notice incorrect information in the NAME column. Here is an example: NAME DFHKETA DFHDSKE DFHXMTA DFHRMUO DFHERMSP PROCESS_RMRO_FORMAT RMI_END_OF_TRANSACTION DFHERM .....n.& <-------- garbage DFHD2D2 . That name should be DFHD2EX1. There is a problem with the DFHKEDUF formatter using halfword logic, causing it to not properly format the name in the stack. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVSCB

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IPCS formating of the Kernel domain * * shows invalid data in the stack entry * * NAME column. * **************************************************************** When formatting the Kernel Domain information in a system dump through IPCS the NAME column in the stack entry data may show invalid data. The module name is obtained by first calculating the address of the start of the module. Any LIFO parameter list with a offset (from the start of the module) larger than x'7FFF' will result in the module address being calculated incorrectly, this is because the offset is treated as signed. Additional Keywords: DFHKEDUF, ERR NAME, KE=1
Problem conclusion
The Kernel domain formatter has been changed so that the LIFO parameter list offset is no longer treated as signed.
