PH16297: 'KE=1' VERBX DUMP FORMATTER INCORRECTLY SAYS A PROGRAM CHECK OCCURRED IN A PROGRAM

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A CICS transaction made a call to MQ and then, while running in
  Primary Space mode with the MQ ASID being the PASID, there was
  an abend0C4.
  .
  The externalized message correctly says this:
  .
  DFHAP0001 PRODCICS An abend (code 0C4/AKEA) has occurred at
  offset X'FFFFFFFF' in module DFHMQTRU .
  .
  But the 'KE=3' formatter says this:
  ------------------------------------
  PASID:  X'015A'  SASID:  X'015A'  HASID: X'0197'
  ...
  Error happened in program DFHEPRL  at offset 0000322E
  ...
  Data at PSW: 00000000_296C8326    Module: DFHEPRL    Offset:
  0000322E
  ...
  and it dumps out the storage occupied by DFHEPRL
  --------------------------------------
  .
  But the program check was not in DFHEPRL.  In the CICS ASID,
  DFHEPRL is the program that lives at the PSW address.  But the
  abend0C4 occurred in a different ASID, ASID x'015A', which is
  the MQ MSTR ASID.  The program check occurred in the program in
  the MQ MSTR ASID that lives at the PSW address.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CICS Kernel dump formatter may      *
  *                      display incorrect information.          *
  ****************************************************************
  The CICS Kernel dump formatter assumes all data processed in a
  dump has been captured within the CICS ASID.
  The PSW is assumed to refer to the HASID but is actually in
  another ASID.
  The result is that the dump formatter information is incorrect.
  
  Keywords: PASID HASID
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS Kernel dump formatter module DFHKEDUF has been
  changed such that data created under an ASID which is different
  to the CICS ASID is not displayed as part of CICS error data.
