ERROR DESCRIPTION: In a TOR-AOR configuration, user transactions abend ASRA in the AOR. CICS automatically issues a transaction dump. On random occasions, the transaction dumps do not fit into the CICS dump data set. Using a dump dat set with a size of 10 cylinders or 100 cylinders, the problem still occurs.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Transaction dump data does not fit into * * the CICS dump data set. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** User transactions abend ASRA in a CICS region. CICS writes out the transaction dump data to the dump, but occasionally the data does not fit into the dump data set. DFHTCXDF uses a signed halfword to calculate the length of the TIOA which causes propagation of the sign bit into the top 2 bytes of the length field. This results in excessive data being formatted.
Problem conclusion
DFHTCXDF is amended so that correct amount of terminal storage is written out to the dump dataset.
