    ****************************************************************
    The transaction service issued an ATRAFGT which failed with
    return code 370 while the control region was already
    terminating due to an earlier error condition.  The fix for
    the initial error is provided under APAR PI93971.  The
    existing processing of the 370 return code would also request
    termination of the control region and obfuscate diagnostic
    information required to resolve the initial issue.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The transaction service was modified so that in this
    particular case the error handling for the 370 return code
    from ATRAFGT provided existing diagnostic information and did
    not re-initiate control region termination.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.0.0.15, 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.8.  Please refer to the
