Error description
EYU9XLRS was not modified as part of the upgrade to V6.1. This means that when it is assembled with the R6.1 codebase the program code to select earlier releases is not included. This means that when DFHRSSR fails and calls EYU9XLRS to produce a dump it always runs the V6.1 code, not the level appropriate for earlier CICS releases.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of CPSM V6.1 with an earlier release * * of CICS. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When EYU9XLRS is called to take a dump * * including ESSS and the data spaces it * * incorrectly determines the release * * dependent module it should call for * * earlier releases. This can lead to * * errors in the data dumped. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF to all MASes. This can be done * * in any order. * **************************************************************** When a MAS encounters an abend it calls DFHRSSR which links to EYU9XLRS to take a dump of the ESSS and data spaces along with the CICS region. If CPSM is at V6.1 and CICS is at an earlier version then the wrong version of EYU9XLRS is used. EYU9XLRS was assembled without the code required to check which CICS version it is running on. It therefore always runs the V6.1 dump routine which may collect incorrect data in an earlier version.
Problem conclusion
EYU9XLRS has been modified to include the code to determine the CICS release and call the release specific module where appropriate.
