    * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM Users.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the CICS TS 6.3 EYU9XEUT           *
    *                      utility is executed against an older    *
    *                      CPSM ESSS version (6.2 and lower)       *
    *                      using the DUMP LOCKS option, the        *
    *                      holder and waiter names display as      *
    *                      garbled characters, and the method      *
    *                      names show incorrect data. The utility  *
    *                      attempts to use control block fields    *
    *                      that do not exist in the older ESSS     *
    *                      format, resulting in invalid values     *
    *                      being formatted.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    The method for storing the lock holder/waiter address space and
    method names was changed in CICSPlex SM 6.3. As a result the 6.3
    EYU9XEUT utility can no longer access these fields.
    

Problem conclusion

  • When the 6.3 EYU9XEUT utility is run against an earlier CICSPlex
    SM ESSS version, it will no longer print the lock holder or
    waiter address space name or method owning name.
