Error description
When using the XFCSREQC exit and a RLS outage is encountered recieve DFHPC0409 Abends AFCS and AFCS have been issued while processing abend AFCS for the same task. XFCSREQC (FCFS_EXIT) is driven for a file close due to RLS being shutdown. An error occurs within XFCSREQC that leads to FCFS's recovery routine (FCFSREC) being driven. Once this routine is complete, it drives FCFS_EXIT again causing a loop.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An abend in user exit XFCSREQC leads * * to recursive abends resulting in CICS * * terminating with message DFHPC0409. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If an unhandled abend occurs while user exit XFCSREQC has control, DFHFCFS will enter its recovery routine. This recovery routine will eventually drive user exit XFCSREQC again. This results in the CICS system entering a recursive loop of abends under the same task. This behaviour leads to CICS issuing msgDFHPC0409 and terminating. Additional Keywords: PC0409 FCFSREC
Problem conclusion
DFHFCFS has been altered so that user exit XFCSREQC is not driven for an unhandled abend in the exit. In this case, DFHFCFS will return an AFCZ disaster abend.
