    01. This problem occurs when there is insufficient space in the
        history file for the $$INDEX file.
    02. If FA skips analysis due to the CICSDUMPTABLEEXCLUDE option
        (message IDI0101I) the CICS transaction dump is suppressed.
        However this should not happen if the SYSDUMP option has
        also been specified on the transaction dump table entry.
    03. Special code for a S04E abend was not correctly setting
        field ABEND_REASON_CODE in the env structure.
    04. Bad call to storage management routines resulted in ABEND0C4
    05. The event was not recognized as a COBOL event due to an
        unexpected stub routine.
    06. Space recovery calculations after abendx37 are not correct.
    07. Cobol5 program is missing from the inactive program list
        when non-Cobol5 programs are present.
    08. An eyecatcher validity check is no longer valid for
        CICS 690.
    09. The ErrorHandler program name list was processed
        incorrectly.
    10. Divide by zero occurs processing a dynamic array.
    11. dfhs_tcpopl is finding surrogate TCTTEs in the SDUMP
        and is not handling them correctly.
    12. Internal names used for parameters not checked correctly
        sometimes resulting in parameter being ignored.
    13. When the PL/I error handler gets control, LE swaps the WSA
        address but does not swap back if an abend is issued.
    14. Side file instruction check fails because op codes in
        executable code have been changed to SVC145 (Debug Tool
        hook).
    15. The JVM is making calls into native/JNI code multiple times,
        confusing the process of mapping the user's Java stack
        trace with the native JVM calls.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. Fault Analyzer for z/OS now determines if an x37 abend has
        occurred while writing the $$INDEX file, and if the history
        file is a PDSE and auto space managed, space is freed by
        deleting the oldest fault entry from the history file to
        provide sufficient space for the $$INDEX file.
    02. Prior to setting the transaction dump suppress flag the CICS
        transaction dump table entry is checked to see if the
        SYSDUMP option has also been specified and if so the
        transaction dump is not suppressed.
    03. ABEND_REASON_CODE is now correctly set.
    04. Call to dwarf storage management routine is corrected
    05. The event is now recognized as a COBOL event.
    06. Space recovery is calculations are corrected.
    07. The inactive program list is changed to show Cobol5 programs
    08. The validity check has been modified for CICS 690
    09. The ErrorHandler program name list is now processed
        correctly.
    10. Code changed to prevent the divide by zero.
    11. dfhs_tcpopl has been changed to handle surrogate TCTTEs.
    12. Internal parameter name check corrected.
    13. LE swap back implemented.
    14. SVC145 instructions not checked.
    15. Java event insertion is now more robust and can handle more
        complex program flows in and out of the JVM.
