PH15969: A TRANSACTION ABENDS WITH CODE AAMD WHEN EXECUTING AN EXEC CICS COPY GROUP(GRP_NAME) TO (OTHER_GRP_NAME) FROM WITHIN A PROGRAM.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A transaction abends with code AAMD when executing an EXEC CICS
  CSD
  COPY GROUP(group_name) TO (other_group_name) from within a
  program.
  Doing exactly the same command via CECI worked successfully.
  
  In the trace, we can see we failed because of a
  NSR_RUN_WITH_TRANISO
  condition:
  AP 04B1 FCVS EXIT - FUNCTION(READ_UPDATE_SET)
  RESPONSE(EXCEPTION)
  REASON(NSR_RUN_WITH_TRANISO) MAXIMUM_RECORD_LENGTH(0)
  RECORD_ADDRESS(00000000) RECORD_LENGTH(0)
  ACCMETH_RETURN_CODE(00000000) DUPLICATE_KEY()
  TERMINATE_STRING(YES)
  TERMINATE_REMOTE_REQUEST(NO)
  
  This is normal since VSAM nonshared resources (NSR) are not
  supported
  for transactions that use transaction isolation but AAMD is not
  the most appropriate abend code.
  

Local fix

• TRANISO=NO
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A CICS transaction abends AAMD, but     *
  *                      should abend AFDK.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  A CICS transaction issues an EXEC CICS CSD command. The
  DFHCSD is defined CSDLSRNO=NO (indicating that DFHCSD
  is defined as NSR).
  CICS is running with TRANISO=YES (indicating that
  Transaction Isolation is in effect).
  CICS does not support a combination of NSR files and
  Transaction Isolation, and correctly abends the transaction.
  However, CICS issues an incorrect abend code:
  AAMD is issued, but this is wrong: CICS should abend the
  transaction with code AFDK.
  Additional Keywords: AbendAAMD AbendAFDK
                       NSR_RUN_WITH_TRANISO
  

Problem conclusion

• DFHDMPCA has been modified to check for the NSR_RUN_WITH_TRANISO
  reason code from DFHFCFR and abend the transaction with
  code AFDK.
  The CICS Knowledge Centre description will be changed to
  add DFHDMPCA to the list of modules which can issue abend AMDK.
