PH08806: LOOKING AT THE KE DOMAIN IN IPCS THE STACK DOES NOT SHOW CORRECT MODULE DFHD2EX1 IN THE NAME COLUMN

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are looking at a CICS system dump in IPCS, formatting
  the KE or kernel domain.  When looking at a stack you notice
  incorrect information in the NAME column.
  Here is an example:
   NAME
   DFHKETA
   DFHDSKE
   DFHXMTA
   DFHRMUO
   DFHERMSP
   PROCESS_RMRO_FORMAT
   RMI_END_OF_TRANSACTION
   DFHERM
   .....n.&  <-------- garbage
   DFHD2D2
  .
  That name should be DFHD2EX1.  There is a problem with the
  DFHKEDUF formatter using halfword logic, causing it to
  not properly format the name in the stack.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IPCS formating of the Kernel domain     *
  *                      shows invalid data in the stack entry   *
  *                      NAME column.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  When formatting the Kernel Domain information in a system dump
  through IPCS the NAME column in the stack entry data may show
  invalid data.
  
  The module name is obtained by first calculating the address of
  the start of the module. Any LIFO parameter list with a offset
  (from the start of the module) larger than x'7FFF' will result
  in the module address being calculated incorrectly, this is
  because the offset is treated as signed.
  
  Additional Keywords: DFHKEDUF, ERR NAME, KE=1
  

Problem conclusion

• The Kernel domain formatter has been changed so that the LIFO
  parameter list offset is no longer treated as signed.
