PI21640: RECEIVING ASMA043 WHEN ASSEMBLING BMS MAP GENERATED FROM SDFII DUE TO MACRO DFHEIENT GENERATING THE SAME LABEL DFH0002A

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Receiving ASMA043 on label DFH0002A when generating a map
  that was generated using SDFII using SDFHMAC. DFHEIENT is
  generating same label as SDFII.
  When CICS first started generating the clashing names, APAR
  PQ75283 was raised in 2003 for the resulting problem of names
  clashing with SDF II. CICS fixed the DFHEIENT macro to use
  names of the form DFHEInnnn instead to avoid this problem.
  However, the code in DFHEIENT was updated again in CICS TS for
  z/OS 4.1 during a development change which undid
  the earlier APAR fix, putting the names back to the DFHnnnn form
  CICS APAR PQ75283 was raised soon after CICS first introduced
  the labels in the DFHEIENT macro.  The CICS change to fix that
  APAR was to change two lines of the DFHEIENT macro so that the
  label names were of the form DFHEInnnnA and DFHEInnnnB instead
  of DFHnnnnA and DFHnnnnB, to avoid the clash with SDF.

  Message ASMA043 symbol previously defined may be issued. The
  label generated by the DFHEIENT macro may conflict with those
  generated by SDF. In particular DFHnnnnA where nnnn is &sysndx
  and may generate labels such as DFH0002A DFH0003A etc. BMS field
  names generated by SDF II are of the form DFHnnnns where nnnn
  can be 0002 and s the field type, DFH0002A being the attribute
  field.

Problem conclusion

• DFHEIENT has been amended to generate a label of the form
  DFHEInnnnA where nnnn is &SYSNDX to branch around the
  eyecatcher.
