Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM Users                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICSPlex SM IPCS verbexit formatting    *
  *                      does not provide a readable summary     *
  *                      of workload routing and target regions. *
  ****************************************************************
  The CICSPlex SM IPCS dump formatting routines do not provide
  a readable summary of CICS regions participating in a workload
  as routing and/or target regions.
  Such a summary should be provided for each workload when
  running the command:
  VERBX EYU9Dnnn 'TOP,WLM'
  
  Additionally:
  - CICSPlex SM Topology/Monitor information is produced when
    the IPCS dump formatting routing is run with the input
    'TOP,RTA', rather than 'TOP,MON' as intended.
  - At V5.4, V5.5, and V5.6, when formatting 'WLM' for a
    MAS address space, the formatted WRKD control block has
    a length of 019Cx bytes, rather than 01C0x as intended.
    This does not occur from V6.1 onward.
  - The CICSPlex SM auxiliary trace formatting utility
    EYU9XZUT, when producing EXCP summary trace entries, will
    print the string "EXCP" followed by one additional invalid
    character.
  

Problem conclusion

• EYU9Dnnn has been updated:
    EYU0DVWT has been updated to provide WLM summary formatting.
    EYU0DVWF has been updated to print WRKD entries correctly.
    EYU0DVNT has been updated to test the appropriate request bit.
  
  EYU9XZUT has been updated to move the correct data for
    the "EXCP" string.
