Error description

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend0C7 in DFH$MOLS. * **************************************************************** It is possible to see an abend 0C7 when running DFH$MOLS, this happens when the monitoring SMF record being processed is using Origin Data. The problem happens when DFHMNOD is doing a copy of monitoring data which can contain empty fields within them. In this case the copy code is copying too much data and so corrupting the monitoring fields. This leads to DFH$MOLS taking an abend 0C7 when attempting to process these corrupted fields.
Problem conclusion
DFHMNOD has been changed to avoid doing a copy of Origin Data of empty fields.
