PK36007: DFHDS0002 ABEND A SEVERE ERROR (CODE X'0204') HAS OCCURRED IN MODULE DFHDSTCB, AFTER A JAVA PROGRAM HAS RUN IN PLTPI.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During PLTPI processing, a DFHDS0002 message is issued, for:
  severe error (code X'0204') has occurred in module DFHDSTCB.
    This occurs after a Java program has run in PLTPI.
  Note bene: in earlier releases of CICS the symptoms differed:
  CPLT was left in a resumed_early dispatcher state after the
  Java program had run. The last suspend for a EKCWAIT that was
  posted, and resulted in the RESUME_EARLY, was on a J9 TCB.

  During PLTPI processing a Java program was given control from
  DFHSIPLT. DFHPGLK issued an apevi call to save_environment, but
  this failed to preserve the stacked portion of the EIS since the
  environment type of PLT was specified. DFHAPLJ1 then set on bit
  eis_abterm_allowed_switch. On completion of the Java program,
  eis_abterm_allowed_switch was left on. When the next PLTPI
  program received control, it issued an EXEC CICS POST command
  followed by an EXEC CICS WAIT. Since eis_abterm_allowed_switch
  was left on, on return from the EXEC CICS POST command, DFHEIP
  set the task_state to running_abterm_allowed. DFHDSTCB
  issued a DFHDS0002 abend with a severe error if x'0204', meaning
  DSTCB_INVALID_ABTERM.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHPGLK has been changed to specify EXEC rather than PLT for the
  dfhapevi macro. This preserves the EIS and so avoids
  eis_abterm_allowed_switch being left on.
