  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CICS Dump Formatter utility formats *
  *                      the TCTUAs incorrectly using 'BR=2'.    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The CICS Dump Formatter utility was used to format a CICS dump
  containing Bridge data. In the reported problem the TCTUA was
  of length x'20' bytes, but instead was formatted using a length
  of x'20000000' bytes. This is because DFHBRDUF is passing the
  length incorrectly to the routine that formats the TCTUA.

Problem conclusion

• DFHBRDUF was changed to pass the length of the TCTUA correctly
  to the formatting routine.
