PM41866: EYU9DNNN IPCS VERBEXIT TRC=A KEYWORD INCORRECT LOCAL TIME

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When formatting a dump using the CICSPlex SM Verbexit
  keyword TRC=A for an abbreviated trace format, the local
  time may be computed incorrectly resulting in the local
  time being off by the time zone adjustment which could
  also affect the date.
  .
  For example...
  .
  Local time formats as: 09:08:17.97470
  and GMT time formats : 05:08:17.97470
  .
  This should be:
  .
  Local time formats as: 01:08:17.97470
  and GMT time formats : 05:08:17.97470

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the CPSM IPCS VERBEXIT is used to  *
  *                      format CPSM trace records in a dump,    *
  *                      the local time displayed may be         *
  *                      incorrect.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, rerun the CPSM IPCS VERBEXIT, ensuring *
  *                 that IPCS is accessing the version of the    *
  *                 VERBEXIT updated by the PTF.                 *
  ****************************************************************
  When method EYU0DVAF (DVAF) is called to format CPSM trace
  records in a dump, it may have to alter the GMT time stamp in
  the trace record to apply the leap second adjustment to produce
  the correct GMT time, and to apply the time zone offset to
  produce the correct local time.
  
  If a leap second adjustment is provided in the record, a
  subroutine is called to modify the provided GMT clock by
  subtracting the leap second adjustment.  If a time zone offset
  is provided in the record, the subroutine is called again to add
  the time zone offset to current setting of the GMT clock to
  provide the local time.
  
  Before calling the subroutine, a flag is set indicating whether
  a subtract (leap second adjustment) or add (time zone offset)
  should be performed.  Since the flag is not initialized properly
  on entry to DVAF, if there is no leap second adjustment to be
  applied, but there is a time zone offset, residual data in the
  flag may cause the subroutine to subtract the time zone offset
  instead of adding it.  This will result in the local time being
  invalid.
  

Problem conclusion

• EYU0DVAF has been updated to correctly initialize the clock
  adjustment flag on entry.
