APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The CICS TS 5.5 program translators modify DFHEITAB.  If the
MVS REFRPROT option is in effect DFHEITAB is loaded into key 00
storage (subpool 252).  This results in a program check when
the attempt to modify DFHEITAB is made.

Local fix

  • Use the MVS command SETPROG NOREFRPROT to turn off the REFRPROT
option.
