PK48841: UNEXPECTED RESULTS BECAUSE JAVA_PROGRAM IS NOT INITIALIZED.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• java_program is not initialized in DFHAPLI1. This can result in
  termcode_bit6 not being set right when calling LE for
  rununit_end_invocation.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users running CICS with z/OS V1.7        *
  *                 or higher.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The recovery routine in DFHAPLI1        *
  *                      fails to set termcode_bit6              *
  *                      correctly when calling Language         *
  *                      Environment for Rununit_End_Invocation, *
  *                      leading to intermittent 4094 abends.    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Following an abend in a lower level program, control is
  percolated up the levels because of a HANDLE ABEND at a higher
  level.
  
  At the handled level, within the recovery routine in DFHAPLI1
  the subroutine build_terminfo_data builds the communications
  area to inform Language Environment of the results for the
  Rununit_End_Invocation function.
  
  The code for setting the flag termcode_bit6 (the program is
  being terminated because a program at a lower link level has
  abended) is only set if a local variable (java_program) is off.
  However, it is possible for this variable to be uninitialised
  and therefore erronously ON, which would result in termcode_bit6
  not being set when it should be.
  
  This error does not cause a problem with versions of LE prior to
  z/OS V1.7; however from V1.7 this would lead to an Abend 4094
  rc=2C being produced if LE Apar PK37749 is not applied.

Problem conclusion

• DFHAPLI1 has been amended to remove the checking of java_program
  when setting termcode_bit6 as Java (HPJ) programs no longer use
  DFHAPLI1.
