PI19823: TDQUEUE CANNOT ALTER ATTRIBUTE(ERROROPTION) FROM 'SKIP' TO 'IGNORE' USING EXEC CICS CSD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem is that an EXEC CICS ALTER call to attempt to change
  the Erroroption attribute from a value of 'SKIP' to 'IGNORE' has
  no effect, i.e. a CECI command like so for a TDqueue with
  Erroroption(SKIP):
  CECI CSD ALTER TDQ RESID(. . .) GROUP(. . .) ATTRI('DESCR(A1)
           ERROR(IGNORE)')
  (with relevant RESID and GROUP values populated)
  will have no effect on the Erroroption value, i.e. it will
  remain as 'SKIP'.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Attempted changes to ERROROPTION        *
  *                      attribute of a TDQ are ignored.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When an attempt is made to change the ERROROPTION attribute of a
  TDQ from SKIP to IGNORE by using the EXEC CICS CSD ALTER
  command, either directly, through CECI or through a batch job,
  the change is not implemented. The command will run with return
  code 0 (zero) but the attribute will not have been changed.
  Trace will also fail to show any problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHCUCA has been changed to honour the change to the ERROROPTION
  attribute.
