  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DFH$FORA is defined as REENTRANT by     *
  *                      HCI6600 JCLIN causing it to be placed   *
  *                      in key 0 protected storage by z/OS.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The JCLIN HCI6600 defines the sample application DFH$FORA as
  REENTRANT which causes z/OS to place it in key 0 protected
  storage.  Hwoever, since this is used to interact with other
  CICS programs running in key 8 storage, data cannot be passed
  between DFH$FORA and the key 8 programs.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new version of DFH$FORA has been shipped along with new JCLIN
  defining DFH$FORA to be non-reentrant thus preventing it from
  being placed in key 0 storage by z/OS.
