  ****************************************************************
  Using CICS with storage protection active on a model 5 terminal
  a user is attempting to exit from CEDA by pressing PF3.  Upon
  doing so, CEDA abends ASRA because DFHAMP tests beyond the end
  of the declared existence bits for the exit trace point.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHAMP has been changed to ensure that the exit trace point is
  issued correctly.  The entry trace point processing has been
  corrected too.
