Error description
PROBLEM SUMMARY: *************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM HourGlass users interested in * * support for CICS 6.1, or for avoiding * * "false positive" Zero Address Detection* * breakpoints within HourGlass modules. * *************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * HourGlass did not support CICS 6.1. * * We have HourGlass code which compares * * the calling version of CICS with the * * latest supported version deliberately * * and prevents providing virtual times * * when the CICS version is not supported.* * This prevents us from using CICS data * * structures which might have been * * changed since the latest supported * * CICS version and prevents HourGlass * * from getting ABENDs on unsupported * * CICS versions. There are also checks * * against supported version call * * locations which allow us to avoid * * providing virtual times for calls * * intended to use only "system" times, * * which must be tailored to recognize * * new CICS versions. * * * * This version is now modified to * * produce an AGGXT05 message when the * * calling unsupported CICS version * * attempts to execute the HGFE command. * * So new unsupported CICS versions will * * hopefully be quickly so recognized * * Previous versions only produced this * * message when it detected a new DFHAPIN.* * * * We had about 18 HourGlass modules * * which would have provided "false * * positive" Zero Address Detection (ZAD) * * breakpoints within them if so traced. * * They were "false positive" in that * * they were not due to errant code, but * * instead just not efficiently coded. * * And of course would have been less * * than helpful if using ZAD breakpoints, * * in an attempt to find actual error * * sources. 2/3 of these HourGlass * * modules were CICS related modules * * anyway, so it made sense to us to fix * * ALL such known modules in a CICS APAR. * FIXCAT keyword: CIC0601T/K
