PK28283: SIT OVERRIDES AFTER .END APPEAR IN SYSLOG WITH DFHPA1927, EVEN THOUGH THOSE VALUES ARE IGNORED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Users who include the .END statement in their CICS region SYSIN
  to delimit the overrides they (temporarily) don't want active in
  their regions will see message DFHPA1927 even for the parameters
  that are ignored.  For example, the following SIT overrides
      SIT=S1
      .END
      PRVMOD=(DFHMCY)
  should cause the PRVMOD override to be ignored since it appears
  after the .END statement.  You will now see DFHPA1927 continue
  to display SIT overrides that appear in the SYSIN stream beyond
  the .END statement, even though these overrides don't alter CICS
  behavior.  The messages are misleading, since they infer the
  .END statement is being ignored.
  

Local fix

• no action required, since overrides appearing after .END don't
  affect or alter CICS' operation.  However, the additional
  DFHPA1927 messages can be eliminated by removing the unneeded
  overrides after ".END".

  In the reported problem, a CICS STARTUP job contained redundant
  SIT overrides after the '.END' card in the JCL.  When CICS was
  started, these redundant overrides were written to the joblog
  within a DFHPA1927 message.  Message DFHPA1927 indicates
  parameters that will override initialization parameters coded in
  the SIT.  As parameters coded after the '.END' card are
  ignored this message accompanying the redundant SIT overrides
  should not have been issued.

Problem conclusion

• DFHPAIO has been modified, message DFHPA1927 for redundant
  SIT overrides coded on lines after the '.END' card will no
  longer be issued to the joblog.
