Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CESL fails with abend AEY7 in DFHSNP.   *
  ****************************************************************
  CICS is initialised with SIT parameters CMDSEC=ALWAYS and
  RESSEC=ALWAYS. Transaction CESL is invoked by a user who does
  not have authority to issue EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL commands.
  CESL starts running under the default CICS userid, which does
  have that authority, and an EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL is used to
  used to ensure CICS does not perform uppercase translation on
  input from the terminal.
  
  The signon of the user is successful but an attempt to restore
  the uppercase translation setting fails with NOTAUTH and
  abend AEY7.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS is changed so restoring the uppercase translation status
  on completion of CESL does not require the userid being signed
  on to have authority to issue an EXEC CICS SET TERMINAL request.
