Error description
A DPL request with a CHANNEL is issued. The CHANNEL includes a CONTAINER of data type BIT, which is shipped with 0 in the CCSID field of the container header. The receiving system incorrectly attempts to check that CCSID contains a valid value, even though no conversion is performed for BIT containers. This results in an AITJ abend on the receiving system.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AITJ abend in mirror transaction. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The CTG support for IPIC DPL sends a BIT container with value 0 in the CCSID field of the container header. This is because code page conversion is not applicable to BIT containers. The code in DFHAPCR that reconstructs the channel on the mirror system passes this value on the CCSID parameter of the PUT_CONTAINER call. DFHPGCR checks that the passed value is a valid CCSID, which it is not, resulting in an AITJ abend of the mirror. Additional Keywords: ABENDAITJ PUT_CONTAINER_FAILED
Problem conclusion
DFHAPCR has been changed to not specify the optional CCSID parameter on DFHPGCRM PUT_CONTAINER calls for BIT containers.
