  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • A CICS task which issues EXEC CICS CREATE and EXEC CICS CSD
    commands results in the CSACSDCT string counter not
    decrementing when the task ends.  When the CSDSTRNO value
    specified in the SIT is exhausted, EXEC CICS CSD commands will
    receive RESP 00000119 CSDERR and RESP2 00000005 indicating
    insufficent strings.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CSDERR with RESP2=5 from EXEC CICS CSD  *
    *                      commands.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If a CICS task issues EXEC CICS CSD commands and then issues
    an EXEC CICS CREATE command then the CSACSDCT counter is not
    decremented at task termination.
    When a subsequent task issues an EXEC CICS CSD command,
    CSACSDCT is compared against the CSDSTRNO value from the
    SIT to determine if there are CSD strings available
    for the request.
    As CSACSDCT is not being properly decremented, a CSDERR
    reponse with RESP2=5 may be returned in cases when there
    are actually strings available.

Problem conclusion

  • CICS is changed to decrement CSACSDCT at task termination
    when there have been EXEC CICS CSD commands during the
    task regardless of whether or not the task also contains
    EXEC CICS CREATE commands.
