PH51661: DFHAID SUMMARY IN IPCS FORMATTED SYSTEM DUMPS IS NOT SHOWING ANY ENTRIES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The CICS IPCS VERBEXIT DFHPDxxx with option 'TCP' (where xxx is
  the release number) formats the terminal control state for a
  CICS system dump. This includes a summary report of the DFHAID
  control blocks (AIDs) associated with each TCTSE System Entry.
  
  A dump was taken when several AIDs were chained from a
  TCTSE but the summary report failed to report information about
  them.

  *                      the 'TCP' option, will not display any  *
  *                      AIDs that are chained to a TCTSE in the *
  *                      ==TCP: TERMINAL CONTROL SUMMARY (AIDS)  *
  *                      section.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  In the reported problem, no AIDs were displayed because of a
  size mismatch between variables in DFHTCSUM that are used for
  holding the number of AIDs chained off a TCTSE.
  
  This mismatch had the effect of the number of chained AIDs being
  perceived as 0, so the summary section
  "==TCP: TERMINAL CONTROL SUMMARY (AIDS)" was empty.
  

Problem conclusion

• A code change has been made so that the AID summary section
  correctly shows the AIDs chained off a TCTSE.
