PI92724: ABEND 0C9/AKEA IN MODULE DFHWUIPG OF A WUI CICS REGION

Error description

• A CICS WUI region gets an 0C9/AKEA abend in module DFHWUIPG
  at offset X'1DC90'. A sdump is captured and the CICS region
  continues to run.
  
  
  +DFHAP0001 An abend (code 0C9/AKEA) has occurred at offset
             X'0001DC90' in module DFHWUIPG.
  +DFHME0116 (Module:DFHMEME) CICS symptom string for message
             DFHAP0001 is PIDS/5655Y0400 LVLS/700 MS/DFHAP0001
             RIDS/DFHSRP PTFS/UI37686
  
  
  The dump showed that the offending line of code is within
  DFHWUI2E in wui2e_convertMicroS IPROC. This is attempting
  to divide a HUGE number from R14/R15 which in this case is
  '000D324A 7F949A0D' and it is attempted to divide it by
  '000F4240'. Unfortunately the number is too big to be placed
  into a 32 signed int and so we get the 0C9.
  .
  The offending line of code is:
  .
  gen code sets(r14,r15) ( D  R14,=F'1000000' )
  .
  R14 and R15 are loaded from W55_MicroIn(1) and W55_MicroIn(2)
  respectively. This has been changed in CICS TS 5.4 under
  workitem 136211 from a D to a DL.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CPSM WUI region reports an abend    *
  *                      (code 0C9/AKEA) occurring at offset     *
  *                      X'0001DC90' in module DFHWUIPG for      *
  *                      CMCI and CICS Explorer resource table   *
  *                      queries, where the records being        *
  *                      returned contain time interval          *
  *                      attributes whose values are very high.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves this    *
  *                 APAR, restart all of your CPSM Web User      *
  *                 Interface (WUI) regions.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  Attributes with a base_type of "clock units" are 8 bytes in
  length, and contain a time interval value in Storeclock (STCK)
  format. This is a value with a very fine time granularity
  which must go through a series of arithmetic calculations to
  convert the value to a readable format. Time intervals are
  reported in HHHH:MM:SS.tttttt format.  If the value being
  converted is significantly large (i.e many thousands of hours),
  then a divide overflow exception can occur when reducing the
  STCK value to its composite time elements.
  

Problem conclusion

• The general registers involved in the time conversion routine
  in module DFHWUI2E have been changed to exploit 64 bit
  arithmetic when converting the STCK value to a microsecond
  value. This allows enough arithmetic scale to handle time
  interval periods larger than those which CICS is capable of
  returning.
