  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The SMSVSAM server recycles while CICS has files open in RLS
  mode. This causes CICS to attempt to close all the open RLS
  files.
  
  However, if a close abends and drives DFHFCRO's recovery
  routine, subsequent close processing is bypassed leaving
  the file on the open acb chain. In the case of a 0D5 abend
  during close processing, the close should be treated as if it
  had worked and the abend can be ignored.
  
  SMSVSAM is automatically restarted, but CICS does not reconnect.

Problem conclusion

• DFHFCRO's recovery processing has been amended for an 0D5
  abend to clean up the environment so that the ACB is not
  left on the open chain.
