Error description

  • DFHZATT is calling trace program to issue a FC9B trace point id.
    DATA2 (TIOA), passed on the call, has a length of x'206C' (8300
    decimal). DFHTRPT checks to see if the length is larger than the
    maximum allowed (compares to field TRBLOCK_DATALIM (defined as
    x'FE8' or decimal 4072)). DFHTRPT determines the TIOA length
    (TIOATDL) is too large and issues an exception trace entry:
    TR 0101 TRPT *EXC* - OVERLENGTH-ENTRY : CALLING DOMAIN WAS AP :
               PARAMETER LIST WAS FUNCTION(TRACE_PUT) POINT_ID(FC9B)
               DATA1 17202448 , 00000004) DATA2(18AF100C , 0000206C)
    .
    DFHZATT, label ZATT_TRACE_TIOA should police TIOATDL and, if too
    large, issue extended trace entries to allow tracing of the
    entire TIOA.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Exception trace entry TR 0101 is        *
    *                      issued by DFHTRPT because DFHZATT       *
    *                      has passed x'206C' as the length        *
    *                      of DATA2 for trace entry FC9B.          *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Exception trace entry:
    TR 0101 TRPT *EXC* - OVERLENGTH-ENTRY : CALLING DOMAIN WAS AP :
    PARAMETER LIST WAS FUNCTION(TRACE_PUT) POINT_ID(FC9B) DATA1
    (17202448 , 00000004) DATA2(18AF100C , 0000206C)
    is issued by DFHTRPT because DFHZATT has passed the value of the
    terminal data length field, TIOATDL, (x'206C) as DATA2 for
    trace entry FC9B. This exceeds the maximum length allowed
    for a trace entry of 4072 bytes.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHZATT has been changed so that only the first 4000 bytes of
    data from the TIOA will be passed to DFHTRPT as DATA2 for trace
    entry FC9B.
    The AP FC9B trace entry in the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS
    Trace Entries V3.2 manual, SC34-6828-02, will be changed so
    that the data 2 item will now read:
    'Up to 4000 bytes of data from the TIOA'.
