Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend APGC and message DFHPG0400 are    *
  *                      received when a PUT CONTAINER request   *
  *                      is issued using DFHTRANSACTION.         *
  ****************************************************************
  When DFHTRANSACTION is passed from one transaction to another
  some fields in the PTA are not set correctly.
  Checking code to calculate the size of DFHTRANSACTION after the
  PUT REQUEST uses these incorrect values in its checking.
  This results in incorrect values being calculated and DFHPG0400
  being issued incorrectly.
  Keywords: msgDFHPG0400 PG0400
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been changed so that the PTA is correctly updated.
