PH26297: INVOKINGPROG COMMAND - INCONSISTENTIES IN WHAT IS RETURNED IN CONNECTED CICS SYSTEMS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• SF Case# TS00372145
  In a "normal" DPL case where program A sysid A links to program
  B in sysid B which in turn links to program C in sysid C this
  function works correctly in that the value returned in
  INVOKINGPROG in sysid C is the name of the program in sysid B
  In a daisy chaining case where program A sysid A links to
  program B in sysid B and the program definition points to sysid
  C the value returned is DFHMIRS and not the name of the program
  issuing the original DPL request in sysid A.
  
  This may well be working as designed but it does make problem
  determination difficult both for the customer L2 and L3.

  *                      DFHMIRS when a DPL request has been     *
  *                      daisy chained across multiple CICS      *

  ****************************************************************
  When a DPL request is daisy chained EXEC CICS ASSIGN
  INVOKINGPROG returns DFHMIRS and not the name of the program
  issuing the EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM command in the originating
  region.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been added to propagate the name of the original
  program if the current program is DFHMIRS.
