PK49718: C++ COMPILE PROCEDURE DFHYITEL PRODUCES UNUSABLE LOAD MODULE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CICS-supplied procedure for
  translating/compiling/link-editing a C++ program, DFHYITEL,
  generates an unusable load module, because an unnecessary
  SYSPUNCH DD card is included in the compile step.
  The problem also applies to the CICS-supplied procedure
  DFHYXTEL, which is intended for
  translating/compiling/link-editing a batch program that uses
  EXCI facilities to contact CICS.

  ****************************************************************
  The CICS supplied procedures to compile a C++ application,
  DFHYITEL (online) and DFHYXTEL (batch EXCI) include
  an unnecessary SYSPUNCH DD card in the compile step. This uses
  the same temporary name as the SYSMOD DD card in the
  pre-link step, which results in the sidedeck generated by the
  pre-link step not being produced, and an unusable load module
  being generated.
  An attempt to run the program may result in an abendALIG in
  the case of an online program, for example:
  "DFHAC2236 Transaction aaaa abend ALIG in program xxxxxxxx
  term nnnn. Updates to local recoverable resources will be
  backed out."
  An EXCI C++ program may abend0C4 in DFHXCPRX, but other
  unpredictable results may occur.

Problem conclusion

• Procedures DFHYITEL and DFHYXTEL have been altered to remove
  the SYSPUNCH DD card from their compile steps.
