PK11002: CPSM SNA GENERIC ALERT INCORRECT MS SUBVECTOR X97 X82' XF511

Error description

• After migrating from CICS TS 2.2 to CICS TS 3.1, CICSPlex SM
  RTA SNA Generic Alerts sent to Netview contain incorrect data in
  the MS subvector x`97`, "Detailed Data" x`82`, "PROBLEM DATA"
  x`F511`, in bytes 89-132 for the section titled:
  .
  "Evaluation Last Evaluated Data"
  .
  The generic alert data is built in field DDA1_EXT1_CURRDATA
  in method CLNA.  CLNA MAL field CURRDATA_BLOCK contains
  the pointer to the last evaluated data from the RTA event.
  Method PNNV sources the data from field PNND_VALUE and
  calls method MOFT to convert the ENABLESTATUS EVALCOL
  current value from internal to external format.  This is
  done at label GET_EXT_DATA in PNNV and the MOFT_OUTPUT_VALUE
  pointer and length from the CALL_MOFT subroutine are used in
  the CLNA MAL field CURRDATA_BLOCK.  The problem occurs due
  to the subsequent call to the CALL_MOFT subroutine which uses
  the same WRK_CONVERT output field as the previous conversion
  and passes the pointer to this area in the CLNA MAL in the
  EVALDATA_BLOCK field. This results in both the CURRDATA_BLOCK
  and EVALDATA_BLOCK fields both pointing to the same storage
  area which contains the last converted field.
  .
  PNNV needs to save the converted CURRDATA_BLOCK in a different
  storage area in its stkfrm from the WRK_CONVERT area so the
  subsequent call to the CALL_MOFT.

  ****************************************************************
  Method CLNA (EYU0CLNA - Build NMVT for NetView Generic Alerts)
  assembles the generic alert data. The CLNA MAL field
  CURRDATA_BLOCK contains the pointer to the last evaluated data
  from the RTA event.  Method PNNV (EYU0PNNV - RTAACTN NetView
  Generic Alert Manager) sources the data from field PNND_VALUE
  and calls method EYU0MOFT to convert the current value from
  internal to external format.  The problem occurs due to the
  subsequent call to the CALL_MOFT subroutine which uses the same
  WRK_CONVERT output field as the previous conversion and passes
  the pointer to this area in the CLNA MAL in the EVALDATA_BLOCK
  field.  This results in both the CURRDATA_BLOCK and
  EVALDATA_BLOCK fields both pointing to the same storage area
  which contains the last converted field.
  

Problem conclusion

• EYU0PNNV has been changed to save the converted current data
  block to a different storage area so the subsequent subroutine
  call does not overlay the previously converted field.
