Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A Liberty request is being processed.  CICS has determined that
  a CICS task is not required for this work but allows for one to
  be created later if needed.
  
  During the processing of this request an attempt is made to
  directly access the CICS Task object.  There isn't a CICS task
  associated with the thread so this call throws a
  RuntimeException.  The user code does not catch this exception,
  so it eventually gets caught by the CICSTaskWrapper.  The CICS
  code then tries to set an appropriate abend code in the TCA.
  The TCA does not exist because there is no CICS task.  The
  attempt to set the abend code causes an 0C4 abend.
  

Local fix

• Program should use the IsCICS method to check if the CICS API is
  available for use.

  ****************************************************************
  A request that does not require a CICS task arrives in
  Liberty. An attempt is made to access the CICS Task object,
  without first using IsCICS.getApiStatus().  This fails and a
  RuntimeException is thrown.  This exception is not handled by
  user code, but is eventually caught by the CICSTaskWrapper.
  CICS code then tries to report the error and indicate that an
  abend should occur. An attempt is made to set an abend code in
  the TCA.  This fails with an 0C4 abend because there is no
  CICS task environment.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS Liberty code has been changed to only set an abend
  code when there is a CICS task environment.
