Error description
An EXCI job using channels and containers failed with DFHEX0001 An abend (code ---/4039) has occurred in module DFHXFQ. An error occurred at program DFHXCPRX UI48954 offset +000E46. The Link Request has failed. Return codes are: 00000088 00000623 . The problem is in the transformer module DFHXFQ which includes DFHXFPC.MACRO which generates code which works in either the Batch (EXCI) or Online (CICS) Online environment. The transformer uses a DSECT which maps Batch and Online data areas. DFHXFQ, in Batch, is incorrectly picking up a field whch is only valid in the Online environment, and the mapping of data areas means that a pointer is being used incorrectly.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend0C4 or storage overlay in EXCI * * Client (batch) region while processing * * application Channel and Container data. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: . * **************************************************************** CICS Transaction Server 5.4 provides Channel and Container support to EXCI applications. The CICS Transformer, working in the client (batch) environment, incorrectly uses a pointer which is only applicable in the server (online) environment. This can result in an 0C4 program check if the pointer contains the address of invalid storage, or can result in application data being corrupted (a fullword is incremented.) Unpredictable results may occur. Additional Keywords: XFRATCSE XFRASTG1 TCSESTPC TCSE_LINK_CHAN_RCVD TCSE_LINK_CHAN_SENT ABENDS0C4 S0C4
Problem conclusion
DFHXFPC.MACRO has been changed to generate the correct code for the batch environment.
