Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND0C1 in DFHIRP when the XCF Group * * Exit is driven with invalid user state * * data. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The XCF group exit (specified when the IXCJOIN command was issued to add this member to the XCF group) was driven to notify this system of a change in the operational state of a member of the XCF group. The group exit parameter list (IXCYGEPL) shows the previous state of the member, GEPLOLDS, was GEACTIVE, active. The new state of the member, GEPLNEWS, is GENOTDEF, not defined. The user state data which follows the GEPL contains residual data.. The group exit checks the validity of the state data by checking if the version number in the first byte (USTVER#) is as expected, '02'x. By chance USTVER# does contain '02'x so the group exit assumes the data is valid and checks the shutdown status in USTSTAT1. The shutdown status byte is invalid so an error branch is taken to IRGXMCED, where a program exception is forced, resulting in an ABEND0C1 and system dump. Additonal keywords: DFHIRPS IRGRPXIT GEPLUSOF S0C1 0C1 abendS0C1
Problem conclusion
The CICS XCF Group Exit has been changed to more rigorously check the validity of the user state data. A new check has been added for the Communications Protocol Number in field USTPRTCL. If the protocol number is anything other than one, PRTCL1, then the user state data is not valid and the group exit takes no further action.
