  ****************************************************************
  The CSKP transaction is designed to be started internally by
  CICS, but the code does not check that it has been started that
  way.
  
  If the CSKP transaction is run from a terminal and CICS has
  been started with JCT=NO, for example in CICSICCF, DFHAKP will
  issue an AK5802 abend and CICS will be terminated.

Problem conclusion

• DFHAKP has been changed to issue an ARM0 transaction abend if
  the CSKP transaction has been started incorrectly.
  
  The CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA User's Handbook
  SX33-6101-00 has been changed on page 202 to include a
  description of abend code ARM0.
  
  Abend  Module  Explanation
  
  ARM0   DFHAKP  An attempt was made to attach a transaction
                 specifying DFHAKP as the program to be given
                 control, but the transaction was not
                 internally attached by CICS.
  
  The IBM z/VSE Messages and Codes Volume 3 SC34-2634-02
  Transaction Abends will be changed to include a
  description of abend code ARM0.
  
  ARM0
  Explanation: An attempt was made to attach a transaction
  specifying DFHAKP as the program to be given control, but the
  transaction was not internally attached by CICS.
  System action: The task is abnormally terminated with a CICS
  transaction dump.
  User response: Ensure that CSKP is not run from a terminal. If
  this is not the case, you need further assistance from IBM to
  resolve this problem. See Part 4 of the CICS Problem
  Determination Guide for guidance on how to proceed.
