  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • After migrating to CICS 5.5 some messages written to
the CSMT log are incomplete.
One byte is missing from the end of each message.
You are using an XTDOUT global user exit to manipulate a TDQ
message before writing to extrapartition transient data.
The problem occurs because CICS is not recognizing that the
XTDOUT GLUE has changed the field UEPTDLMD.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS does not use a modified UEPTDLMD   *
*                      value.                                  *
****************************************************************
A CICS XTDOUT Global User Exit changes the length of a
Transient Data record and passes the new length to CICS
using the parameter field UEPTDLMD.
CICS ignores the modified UEPTDLMD value, and continues to
use the original value.
Additional keywords: GLUE TD LENGERR INTRAPARTITION WRITEQ

Problem conclusion

  • CICS has been changed to use the modified UEPTDLMD value
provided by the GLUE.
