Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to review CICS TS 5.1 trace by entering the
  following verbx command:
  
  VERBX DFHPD680 'TR'
  
  You get an incomplete format of trace followed by message
  
  ** DFHPD0123 A program check has occurred while processing
  keyword TR
  
  It seems possible to get the TRACE to format the first
  correctly but after that the EPIE error occurs on the exit
  trace point of DFHERM.  The error is occurring on a Test
  undermask instruction in DFHRITRI while attempting to format
  the trace point.

  ****************************************************************
  While formatting the internal trace table of a CICS System Dump
  the trace formatter abends when attempting to format trace point
  AP 2521 with a DFHPD0123. Whilst this trace entry will not be
  visible in the trace output, the preceding trace activity in
  DFHERM will be traced prior to the error.  This leads to an
  abnormal termination of the formatter with no other trace points
  formatted. Other trace formatters (such as Fault Analyser) may
  be able to format the trace successfully.
  

Problem conclusion

• Change DFHRITRI to handle trace data 4 containing boundary
  information with a value of 2 and not an address.
