Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CICS translator always issues       *
  *                      a LOAD for module DFHEITBS.             *
  ****************************************************************
  The CICS translator is only supposed to load the
  Systems Programming Interface (SPI) language table DFHEITBS
  when the 'SP' translator option is specified.
  This allows development environments to limit usage
  of the SPI to authorised users.
  However, the translator is ALWAYS loading DFHEITBS, regardless
  of the setting of the 'SP' option.
  This means that all translator executions are subjected to
  any security checking that is dependent on the load of
  DFHEITBS.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS translator has been changed, so that it only
  loads DFHEITBS if the 'SP' translator option has been
  specified.
