  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Channel and Container control blocks    *

  *                      formatter fails with message DFHPD0103. *
  ****************************************************************
  CICS dump formatter for dumps from an EXCI batch job reuses the
  same storage when chaining through the Channel and Container
  control blocks (CPCB, CHCP, CRCB and CSCB).
  Hence the links for chained control blocks fail and cause
  message DFHPD0103.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CICS dump formatter has been updated to process chained
  control blocks properly.
