    ****************************************************************
    INQUIRE RRMS is being called via an EXEC CICS command which
    results in a program check and the issue of an AEXZ abend.
    
    The problem is related to variations  of the following command
    
    EXEC CICS INQUIRE RRMS OPENSTATUS
    
    where if OPENSTATUS was defined then the problem did not present
    itself. However, if just
    
    EXEC CICS INQUIRE RRMS
    
    command was issued then the ABEND occurred. Further, analysis of
    the code generated after translation of the variation of the
    command both with OPENSTATUS defined and not defined showed that
    the same arg0 call was produced for both which was
    
    X'3A020000088000000000000000'.
    
    It can be seen that the flag for arg1 being present is on. For
    the situation where OPENSTATUS was not defined and hence arg1
    was not defined then the problem occurs. This is because with
    the arg1 flag on in arg0 and with no valid data at the location
    of arg1, CICS program checks with the AEXZ abend.
    
    In addition, use of a command level program within the
    CHECK_CICS_COMMAND security call from DFHEIQRR was found to
    corrupt the EXEC CICS parameter list passed on the inquire
    command.

Problem conclusion

  • The CICS definition tables have been amended to ensure
    the translation of EXEC CICS INQUIRE RRMS results in
    the correct arg0 value. Furthermore, DFHEIQRR has also
    been amended to avoid the corruption of DFHEIEI_ARG.
