Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect LINK3270 vector created for * * EXEC CICS ISSUE ERASEAUP. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A 3270 application is driven by a LINK3270 client. The 3270 application issues EXEC CICS SEND followed by EXEC CICS ISSUE ERASEAUP followed by a final EXEC CICS SEND command. The LINK3270 client receives a response containing 3 vectors for the 3 EXEC CICS commands. However, there is an unexpected block of nulls between the end of the LINK3270 ISSUE ERASEAUP vector and the start of the last LINK3270 SEND vector. The nulls exist because of a code defect in DFHBRMF which allocates space for the ISSUE ERASEAUP vector. This should allocate a fixed X'14' byte ISSUE ERASEAUP vector but adds the value held in brxa_from_len. This contains the length of data in the FROM area from the previous EXEC CICS SEND command. Additional Keywords :- 0418 0404 BRIH and BRIV
Problem conclusion
DFHBRMF routine dfhbrmf_tc_send has been changed to allocate the appropriate amount of space for an ISSUE ERASEAUP vector.
