PK59094: MAL IN EXIT2 LEVEL TRACE INCOMPLETE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Run the trace formatter on the trace you captured. You may
  notice that the MAL in the EXIT2 level trace is incomplete
  (compare it to the one on the EXIT1). Also notice there is a
  <continued> for the 'MAL' label. The MAL has been spread across
  2 trace records. When the trace formatter gets a MAL, it expects
  to get it all at once.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EYU9XZUT (Format CPSM aux trace         *
  *                      records) may produce incomplete output  *
  *                      for MAL formatted trace entries. Part   *
  *                      of the MAL may be formatted and part    *
  *                      may be displayed in hexadecimal dump    *
  *                      format preceded by MAL    (Continued)   *
  *                      for the 'MAL' label.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, ensure that the STEPLIB in CPSM trace  *
  *                 formatting utility jobs points to the        *
  *                 dataset updated by the PTF.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  When EYU9XZUT processes a MAL trace record, it expects to get
  the entire MAL record all at once. However, if the MAL has been
  spread across 2 trace records, and the MAL is to be formatted, a
  portion of the MAL will be displayed in hexadecimal dump format
  and be similar in look to the following:

Problem conclusion

• Changed EYU9XZUT to determine if the MAL has been spread across
  2 trace records. The MAL will be saved in a work area and the
  next record will be retrieved when it does span records.
