Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFHPD710 and DFHPD720 ABEND U0212       *
  *                      occurs when trying to format a dump.    *
  ****************************************************************
  DFHPDX1 issues the ABEND u0212 when a sixth program check is
  encountered when formatting a dump. Five DFHPD0123 messages are
  issued to document the earlier program checks. In this case two
  problems were found indicated by:
  
  DFHPD0123 A program check has occurred
  1. in DFHASDUF while processing keyword AS.
  2. in DFHDUFUT while processing either keyword SM,SO,SZ or TCP.
  
  Keywords: PIA
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHASDUF will be updated to initialise the pointer before use.
  
  Additionally at CICS TS 5.6 a change has been made to DFHPIDUF
  to prevent the overlay of control block chains with the PI
  Anchor block and so prevent the later 0C4s in DFHDUFUT.
  

Temporary fix
