Closed as program error.
Error description
You migrate to CICS 5.5, which no longer supports assembled PLTPI or PLTSD programs. At 5.5, CICS uses an interpretative process to read the source code for the PLT programs. This process was originally implemented with no syntax checking and no error messages. This APAR is being opened to implement proper syntax checking during the interpretation of the PLT source and produce new error messages if errors are found. . . Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVGJT
Local fix
Assemble source using pre-5.5 libraries to perform syntax checking before using PLT source in a 5.5 environment
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrectly coded PLT (Program List * * Table) entries may be ignored without * * warning. * **************************************************************** When processing the PLT, program entries can be ignored when not part of a correctly spelled PROGRAM=progname entry. There is no warning message to highlight this.
Problem conclusion
CICS will check that the PLT entry contains 'PROGRAM='. Unrecognised entries will result in new message DFHAP2000I. The following new message will be added to the CICS TS 5.5 Messages and Codes manual: DFHAP2000I applid Unrecognized statement found in program list table (PLT). The statement is: pltdata System Action: CICS continues to validate entries in the PLT. User Response: Check that the statements in the PLT and in any copied members are valid. Module: DFHAPTB XMEOUT parameters/Message inserts: 1. applid 2. pltdata Destination: Console
