Error description
Abend AALZ when installing a doctemplate defined as a EXITPGM. . For document templates generated by an exit program, the exit program specifies (in its exit parameter list) whether or not a copy of the document template should be cached by the document handler. . An attempt is made to create a definition for a DOCTEMPLATE, which is returned by an exit program (which asks DH domain not to cache), and the size exceeds 8k (x'2000'). As part of the create process a caching buffer is obtained to hold the new template. However as the size is greater than the maximum allowed for the operation, 8k, it fails with a truncated error. When a template is held in a program this is not an error, but is reported as such. This leads to the creation being rejected with an AALZ abend. APAR PK54398 addressed this issue for DOCTEMPLATE's defined as PROGRAMS. Additional Keywords: abendAALZ KIXREVEPH

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Installing a DOCTEMPLATE of type * * EXITPGM fails with ABEND AALZ. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** For document templates generated by an exit program, the exit program specifies (in its exit parameter list) whether or not a copy of the document template should be cached by the document handler. An attempt is made to create a definition for a DOCTEMPLATE, which is returned by an exit program (which asks DH domain not to cache), and the size exceeds 8k (x'2000'). As part of the create process a caching buffer is obtained to hold the new template. However as the size is greater than the maximum allowed for the operation, 8k, it fails with a truncated error and the caching buffer is freed. This truncation error causes the installation of the DOCTEMPLATE to fail with an abend AALZ. Additional Keywords: abendAALZ
Problem conclusion
The creation process, within DFHDHTM, has been amended to accept the failure to cache a template greater than 8k for DOCTEMPLATES defined as EXITPGM, when the exit requests that the template is not cached.
