Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: GETMAINs issued from DFHFCFR that are * * requested by DFHRXSM obtain 24 bit * * storage incorrectly. * **************************************************************** When DFHRSXM is triggered to update DFHRSTAT an EXEC CICS READ UPDATE SET request is issued followed by a REWRITE. To complete this request a GETMAIN with remark FCSS SET is required. DFHFCFR expects to be able to ask the calling program for a data location, however this is not present for DFHRSXM and therefore the data location is not set correctly. This results in the GETMAIN requesting 24 bit storage (below the line) when in previous releases it requested 31 bit storage (above the line). The storage is FREEMAINed after the REWRITE which occurs directly after the READ UPDATE SET so the 24 bit storage is only held for a very brief period of time.
Problem conclusion
DFHFCFR has been altered to ensure that the GETMAIN for remark FCSS SET obtains the correct storage for the request.
