  An XPLINK program defined as THREADSAFE which is run by a
  transaction defined with TASKDATALOC(ANY) causes DFHAPLX1 to
  ABEND AEZC because DFHAPLX1 incorrectly determines that the
  program is linked in AMODE(24).

  Changes have been made to DFHAPLX1 to correctly determine the
  AMODE of an XPLINK program.
