PH05297: TRANSFER_COUNT values are incorrect within trace points SO 0202 and SO 0802

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are experiencing high volumes of IPIC traffic, and after
  examining the CICS internal trace, you've found some suspicious
  trace entries with unusually high TRANSFER_COUNT fields, such
  as the following:
  .
  SO 0802 SOSE  EXIT  - FUNCTION(SECURE_SOC_WRITE) RESPONSE(OK)
    GSK_RETURN_CODE(0) >>>>>> TRANSFER_COUNT(63906730) <<<<<<
  .
  Starting with TS 5.4, CICS  supports 64-bit Socket Send and
  Receive.  The value for the TRANSFER_COUNT  was stored in the
  low 31 bits, and the high bits were not cleared.  Later when
  this value was used, the high 31 bits were used for the count,
  truncating the low bits.  This led to the odd transfer count
  values.
