PM67741: DFHME0109 MESSAGE SET .. COULD NOT BE FOUND IN MODULE DFHMET1E WHILE PRODUCING MESSAGE DFH..0001

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You get the following message:
  .
  DFHME0109 Message set .. could not be found in module DFHMET1E
  while producing message DFH..0001
  .
  In that dump, at the bottom of the KE=1 summary, you can see
  that the last Kernel Error Table entries show module DFHD2EX1.
  .
  This APAR is not about whatever particular error happened in
  DFHD2EX1 .  When DFHD2EX1's recovery routine gets control
  after an error and then tries to report the error by putting
  out a DFHAP0001 message reporting the error in DFHD2EX1,
  there is something wrong with that attempt to put out the
  message and that results in the DFHME0109 DFH..0001.

  *                      writing out DFHAP0001 message to        *

  An abend is occurred during DFHD2EX1 processing. It is expected
  that DFHD2EX1's recovery routine gets control after the abend
  and then reports the abend by writing out a DFHAP0001 message.
  But an error is issued during writing out the DFHAP0001 message.
  
  The error is related to static area in DFHD2EX1. The address of
  static area is saved when DFHD2EX1 is entered and is restored
  in recovery routine after an abend is occurred.
  
  For CICS TS 4.2, the compiler uses register 6 to keep the static
  area's address. Register 6 is also used for other variables in
  DFHD2EX1, so its value will be overlaid during DFHD2EX1
  processing and will not constantly point to the static area.
  That causes the address of static area not be restored correctly
  in recovery routine and various abends could be observed.
  
  Therefore any usage of static value will cause unexpected error.
  Because the component id 'AP' for writing out DFHAP0001 message
  is a static value. It can not be obtained correctly. That cause
  an error and message DFHME0109 is experienced.

Problem conclusion

• The DFHD2EX1 has been changed that the address of static area is
  saved in stack.
