  When attempting to commit an XID which does not exist, the
  Gateway daemon returns an uninitialized variable from a
  function that causes an abend 0C4 when the variable is
  referenced.

• CICS Transaction Gateway has been corrected so that the
  variable is always initialized preventing the abend.
