PI13216: RECEIVE DFHMN0002 A SEVERE ERROR (CODE X'0215') HAS OCCURRED IN DFHMNMN.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a Console to run a Dynamic Transaction that routes
  to a Remote Region, the Console TCTTE, which in this case is
  x'F0' bytes long, is treated as a Large TCTTE.  As a result the
  x'40' bit is getting turned on at offset x'138' from the
  beginning of the Console TCTTE.  This can cause an
  unpredictable error depending on what storage immediately
  follows the Console TCTTE.

  ****************************************************************
  When a dynamically routed transaction is entered from a console
  and it is to be to run remotely, the field TCTETUCT is updated.
  This field is at offset X'138' in VTAM TCTTEs.
  However this offset falls outside the length of short TCTTEs
  like console TCTTEs. So a storage overlay of one byte will
  occur in the storage following the TCTTE which may be another
  TCTTE or some other piece of storage.

Problem conclusion

• Code has been added in DFHAPRT to prevent TCTETUCT being turned
  off for console terminals.
