Error description
Reassembled a BMS Map at CICS TS 5.3 with no changes. Now not seeing data returned that has the FSET enabled. Restored the old map and it works fine. The difference is the write control character: . Production (old): 000025 4A 196+ DC CL1'(a cent sign)' 3270 WRITE CONTROL CHARACTER . New Assembly: 000025 5F 214+ DC CL1'(a NOT character)' 3270 WRITE CONTROL CHARACTER . 4A = 0100 1010 = CTRL=(PRINT,FREEKB) 5F = 0101 1111 = CTRL=(PRINT,ALARM,FREEKB,FRSET) . The map has not changed, and they are using the following DFHMDI in both: . BMSMAP DFHMDI SIZE=(24,80),CTRL=(PRINT,FREEKB) . Looking at DFHMDI at CICS TS 5.3 there is a change where the &FUNC macro field at position 10 changed from a x'4a' to a x'5f', which changed the default for a write control character.

**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CTRL operand of the DFHMDI and * * DFHMDS BMS macro may generate the * * wrong characteristics for IBM 3270 * * terminals. * **************************************************************** BMS maps that are generated by the BMS DFHMDI and DFHMSD macros that specified CTRL=(PRINT,FREEKB) will result in CTRL=(PRINT,ALARM,FREEKB,FRSET) being generated at CICS TS for z/OS 5.3 and CICS TS for z/OS 5.4.
Problem conclusion
The BMS macro DFHMDI and DFHMDS have be changed to generate the correct value specified in the CTRL operand.
