  ****************************************************************
  Prior to CICS Transaction Server Version 4 Release 2, CSA
  optional features list field CSACICNA was used by the CICS dump
  formatters for dump version identification.  This field was
  moved in CICS Transaction Server Version 4 Release 2.  As a
  result the CICS Transaction Server Version 4 Release 1, dump
  formatter fails to identify the dump version of a Version 4
  Release 2 dump and does not issue a DFHPD0131 message.
  KEYWORDS: msgDFHPD0131 msgPD0131 PD0131
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS Transaction Server Version 4 Release 1 dump formatter
  has been modified to use CSA field CSAICREL for dump version
  identification.  As a result Version 4 Release 2 dumps can also
  be identified and an appropriate DFHPD0131 message issued.
