  ****************************************************************
  An application running under the Link3270 Bridge mechanism
  issued EXEC CICS SEND PAGE TRAILER. Although the trailer data
  was valid DFHBRMS PROCESS_EXEC_ARGUMENTS incorrectly set a
  negative value for its length. The DFHBRMF formatter program
  reported this with an exception trace, with ID X'4C2D'
  BRMG_UNEXPECTED_ERROR and issued an AP0002 dump.
  A consequence of this unexpected error was that Bridge vector
  storage had not been allocated and a reference to it caused an
  0C4 abend with an associated AP0001 dump.
  
  DFHBRMS PROCESS_EXEC_ARGUMENTS was also setting an incorrect
  value for any TRANSID option specified on an EXEC CICS SEND
  PAGE command.

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been changed to set the correct value for the trailer
  length from an EXEC CICS SEND PAGE TRAILER request during
  DFHBRMS processing of the EXEC Argument List.DFHBRMF has been
  changed to prevent the 0C4 after the Bridge vector failed to be
  allocated.
  
  DFHBRMS has also been changed to use the correct value for the
  TRANSID if that option was specified on the EXEC CICS SEND PAGE
  request.
