PK65690: *PROCESS STATEMENT NOT HONORED IN CICS-SUPPLIED TRANSLATOR DFHEAP1$ FOR ASSEMBLER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Translating and assembling a CICS Assembler program
  having both:
  a) one or more leading *PROCESS statements
  AND
  b) using DFHEAP1$ with an EXEC PARM operand,
  the CICS translator (DFHEAP1$) for assembler does not honore any
  *PROCESS statements and as a consequence the assembler options
  are not passed to ASMA90.
  

Local fix

• Omit the PARM operand of the EXEC job control for the translator
  and specify all options via *process statement

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: *process statement is not honoured      *
  *                      by CICS translator if the translator    *
  *                      option CICS has been specified.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The *process assembler statement can be coded to specify
  assembler options. However, the CICS translator is ignoring
  the statement if the 'CICS' translator option is in effect,
  and the *process statement is not passed on to the assembler
  job step.
  The problem is only applicable to assembler programs.

Problem conclusion

• The CICS translator has been modified to pass any valid
  *process statement on to the assembler job step.
