Error description

• You are running CICS Transaction server 3.2 and your program
  issues an  SPI command

  The failing instruction is an EXECUTE - 4440 6596 that
  points to instruction: D200 A000 8020

  ****************************************************************
  The INQUIRE JVMPROFILE command has an optional HFSNAME
  parameter which would return the HFS file name of the
  JVMPROFILE. DFHEIQSY detects whether this parameter has been
  specified and pass it to DFHSJIS. GET_NEXT_JVMPROFILE will
  not check if JVMPROFILE_PATH_NAME is passed and use the
  residual storage as JVMPROFILE_PATH_NAME's address and length
  directly. This will lead to program check when access this
  invalid storage. Same problem also occurs in the procedure
  processing INQUIRE JVMPROFILE without the browsing.

Problem conclusion

• DFHSJIS has been changed to check if JVMPROFILE_PATH_NAME
  is valid in parameter list before using them.
