PH04490: PROGRAM AND TRANSACTION CSD RECORDS DO NOT CONTAIN THE DEFAULT VALUES AFTER MIGRATION TO CICS TS 5.4

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:Ø
  You are running into an issue where PCTs and PPTs will install
  with different attributes for TASKDATALOC and DATALOCATION in
  V5.4 than they did under V5.3. This can lead to AEZC abends
  that ordinarily do not happen.
  
  That is happening is that a PCT that is defined as
  TASKDATALOC(BELOW) in the CSD installs fine under 5.3. That
  same PCT when installed under 5.4 will now show
  TASKDATALOC(ANY). A CEDA display of the PCT will also
  show TASKDATALOC(ANY). Similar behavior is seen for PPTs.
  
  These programs that are having these troubles are old programs
  whose CSD records were written many years ago when the default
  value was not saved to the CSD. These records now pick up the
  new default value. This issue is happening even with APAR/PTF
  PI90920/UI53029 applied.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After upgrading to CICS TS 5.4          *
  *                      applications may fail with AEZC abends. *
  ****************************************************************
  At CICS TS 5.4 a number of default values have been changed for
  program and transactions. In early releases of CICS the contents
  of the CSD would contain the non-default values only; so when
  the defaults were changed at 5.4 these were now incorrect for
  customers who were expecting to use the old defaults.
  This problem is different to PI90920 because the contents of the
  CSD which PI90920 fixed were different but still resulted in the
  new default values being used.

Problem conclusion

• CICS CSD record processing has been changed to use the original
  default values when processing such an old CSD containing just
  the non-default values.
