Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Improve CICS serviceability.            *
    ****************************************************************
    The CICS Kernel verbexit formatter could improve
    serviceability by reporting the values for some of the time
    fields held within the CSA, and documenting any discrepancy
    between CICS and MVS's view of the time.
    KEYWORDS: KEDUF CSDUF
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHKEDUF and DFHCSDUF have been changed to report the values in
    CSATODP, CSATODP2 and CSATODZ.
      The CICS Data Areas manual will be updated as follows. The
    reserved fullword at x130 into the CSA will be redefined as:
    "130 ADDRESS 4 CSATODZ z/OS time value" and the comment line
    "OPEN & CLOSE LIST" moved to below this.
