  ****************************************************************
  An EXCI batch job is using a large CHANNEL with multiple
  CONTAINERs to DPL to a CICS/TS server region.
  The DPL request is processed by the server program and a
  response is sent to the client.
  The CHANNEL response is received by calling DFHXCSCR (DFHAPCR)
  IMPORT_CHANGED.
  The IMPORT_CHANGED failed with message DFHEX0002 error code
  X'4E0E' after one of the CONTAINERs has been extracted from the
  receive buffer and the remaining data in the buffer is less
  than a CONTAINER header length (32 bytes).
  The failure is caused by DFHXCSCR using the buffer length value,
  XCP_IRP_DLENGTH, instead of the length returned by the DFHIRP
  PULL request, SCCBDLTH.

Problem conclusion

• DFHXCSCR has been changed to use the returned length value from
  DFHIRP after a PULL request, SCCBDLTH.
  In addition the DFHXCSCR ESTAE, xcscrest, and the RETRY ESTAE,
  xcscrest_retry, routines have been amended to correctly
  restore the LIFO storage address when called.
