Error description
A 64-bit non-LE Assembler program gets abend APST on a SPOOLOPEN command. The abend says the mandatory NOHANDLE is missing. But, it has been coded on the command. . The abend is issued from DFHEPS because the test for ARGNOHAN fails because the arguement list address points at low core. . The call to DFHEPS was made by module DFHEIG. DFHEIG re-uses Reg1 for other things. Then, it sets up various types of commands. The other commands either restore Reg1 or use another mechanism to set the pointer correctly. But, for Type B commands (eig_type_b & eig_type_b2) it doesn't address the change in argument list register. Instead, it just goes straight to the command processor for Type B command. That leaves Reg1 with an invalid pointer.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend APST in amode-64 application * **************************************************************** An amode-64 CICS application program issued an EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN command. This failed with abend APST because DFHEIG did not reestablish R1's addressibility to the command parameter list before calling DFHEPS. KEYWORDS: abendapst plist register1 spool spooler jes
Problem conclusion
DFHEIG has been changed to ensure register 1 correctly addresses the command parameter list before branching to the command processing interface module.
