PI49715: DFHSO0002 A SEVERE ERROR (CODE X'080C') HAS OCCURRED IN DFHSOSE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are receiving msgDFHSO0002 Severe Error code x'080C' which
  is issued due to the SOSE_GSK_RETURN_CODE and it has a value
  of x'FFFFF3E4'. This equates to a value of -3100.
  
  We consulted the SSL support group and they do not have a
  RETURN_CODE of -3100.
  
  DFHSOSE has no specific processing to handle this return code
  so message DFHSO0002 is produced with an SO0002 system dump.
  
  GSK_UNKNOWN_RETURN_CODE is a result of client action, so the
  DFHSO0002 message and dump are unnecessary.  This error
  should be reported by an exception trace entry similar to
  other client based errors.

  ****************************************************************
  When using SSL with IBM or CSI TCP/IP, it is possible to receive
  one or more DFHSO0002 messages specifying severe error (code
  X'080C') and SO0002 abend dumps.
  
  When a -3100 (X'FFFFF3E4') return code is received in a
  secure_soc_init request, CICS treats the value as a
  disaster and produces the DFHSO0002 message and an SO0002 dump.
  
  This error will also be seen as an SO 080C exception trace
  entry in the internal trace table.
  
  Additional keywords: MSGDFHSO0002
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHSOSE has been changed to treat -3100 as an exception and will
  not produce a DFHSO0002 message and SO0002 dump.
  
  An SO 080C exception trace entry will still be produced.
