APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following error message occurred after CICS restart:
  DFHTD0250 xxxx Dynamic allocation of queue CESE failed.
  Return code X'0000000C',X'035C' in module DFHTDOC.
  .
  You started up CICS region Initial at some point in the past
  and that start-up had the CEEMSG DD Card present. Then again at
  some point in the past, you changed the CESE in the running CICS
  region using CEMT, such as doing a DISable. That CICS region
  was then closed down cleanly and CICS then catalog this DCT to
  the Global catalog, including this temporary data set name.
  All was well when the DD card was still in the JCL as CICS were
  see that this was 'preallocated' and use a new temporary data
  set name. But when the DD card was removed and CICS tried to
  issue the dynamic allocate it would have read the global catalog
  and seen that it contained a DSNAME and tried to use that
  DSNAME. This is incorrect.

  ****************************************************************
  It is possible to receive message DFHTD0250 on CICS start up
  when CICS tries to dynamically allocate a data set for CEEMSG.
  This can happen if the Enablestatus has been changed in the
  past. This change in status is incorrectly cataloging the
  current data set name on the Global catalog, this is a
  temporary name supplied by JES.
  When CICS is re-started AUTO the temporary data set name is
  attempted to be used, but this data set is not valid for this
  run of CICS.
  The same problem can happen with any Extrapartition TD Queue
  which has a destination of SYSOUT.

Problem conclusion

• DFHTDTM has been changed to avoid cataloging a SYSOUT
  destination temporary data set name when the Enablestatus is
  updated.
