  ****************************************************************
  When the IPCS command, VERBX EYU9D550 'TRC' or VERBX EYU9550
  'TRC=A', is used to format out CPSM trace entries within a CICS
  dump file, module EYU0DVAF (DVAF - Trace Formatter) is called to
  interpret CICS trace records. Once the trace record is
  identified as a CPSM user trace record, subroutine REC_CPSM is
  called to format it out. However, due to program logic error,
  when a zero length entry is presented in trace data1 field, the
  CICS trace record could not be interpreted properly, and as a
  result, the following message is printed as an indicator of the
  failure.
  
    - An error has occurred while formatting CICS Trace Data
      Record.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module EYU0DVAF has been updated to interpret the CICS records
  properly.
