PH33424: TRACE POINTS AP 0968 AND AP 0969 DO NOT FORMAT CORRECTLY APTRY *EXC* - UNABLE_TO_FORMAT_TRACE_POINT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Looking at CICS trace in a dump, you notice the
  following trace entries that do not format
  correctly:
  
  AP 0968 APTRY *EXC* - Unable_to_format_trace_point
  and
  AP 0969 APTRY *EXC* - Unable_to_format_trace_point
  
  They should be formatted as:
  
  AP 0968 APRP ENTRY
  and
  AP 0969 APRP EXIT
  .
  These trace entries are associated with
  transaction routing.
  The formatting trace module DFHAPTRI- incorrectly
  includes trace points beginning in range 0960, in
  a section associated with transaction manager trace.
  This leads to the exception trace being put out.

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unable to format trace points AP 0968   *
  *                      and AP 0969.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  A change made to DFHAPTRI resulted in the wrong trace formatting
  module being called for trace points AP 0968 and AP 0969.
  Also affected by the change are trace points AP 0960, 0961,
  0962, 096A and 096B.
  This change was made to be able to use two new trace points for
  JSON PIJT.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHAPTRI has been changed to call the correct format module for
  the AP 0960 to 096B trace points.
  Two new trace points have been created for the JSON PIJT Entry
  and Exit, 5000 and 5001.
  DFHAPTRI has also been changed to call the correct format module
  for these new trace points.
