Error description
If you are running with an XICEREQ exit and trying to execute the CONVERTTIME command, you will receive an ABENDAEXU. The abend description says the abend is a result of the following actions: During execution of an EXEC CICS command, a NOTPOSS condition has been raised on encountering an invalid parameter. This is probably caused by a previous storage overlay. In this reported scenario, the ARG0 value had been corrupted. . Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVBDB

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Attempts to issue an EXEC CICS * * CONVERTTIME request fails with a * * response of NOTPOSS when GLUE XICEREQ * * is enabled. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** DFHEIDTI sets up the parameters for the GLUE including a copy of arg0. The GLUE XICEREQ is invoked and afterwards routine rebuild_eid is invoked to ensure that arg0 has not been invalidly modified by the EXIT. Unfortunately, it does not cater for CONVERTTIME and corrupts the EID (arg0). The result is that when an EXEC CICS CONVERTTIME request is now issued it fails with a response of NOTPOSS and ABEND AEXU. Additional Keywords. ABEND AEXU
Problem conclusion
DFHEIDTI has been amended to ensure that CONVERTTIME in the EID is not modified when EXIT XICEREQ is enabled.
