Error description

  • CICS 5.1 allows the definition of a TSQUEUE with QNAME like
    '0S....D3779', in hex x'F0E202FD0FB4C4F3F7F7F940'.
    When this queue is deleted, CICS tries to write the audit
    message DFHAP1900 but this fails with:
     DFHME0121 The first attempt at formatting message DFHAP1900,
     TD queue CADS, has failed - Invalid DBCS format
    ...
     DFHAP1903 ... IV3A68A2 SPI audit log is disabled.

    ****************************************************************
    A temporary storage queue name contains an x'0F' character. When
    the queue is deleted, DFHEIAD calls message domain to issue API
    audit message DFHAP1900 for the SET command. This fails with
    message DFHME0121, since message domain detects the
    x'0F' character within the message insert, and regards it as a
    SOSI "shift in" character within single byte character set
    (SBCS) data.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHEIAD has been changed to detect the presence of shift out
    (x'0E') or shift in (x'0F') characters and convert them to dots
    (x'4B'), to allow a DFHAP1900 message to be successfully issued
    for such a SET TSQNAME or SET TSQUEUE command.
