PI93169: ABEND AEZC WHEN TRYING TO RUN ASMC AND ASME TRANSACTIONS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You receive an abend AEZC when trying to execute the supplied
  DBCTL sample transactions ASMC & ASME. AEZC means that a
  transaction has been defined with a TASKDATALOC(ANY), but a
  program within the transaction is defined to run AMODE 24. CICS
  cannot invoke the AMODE 24 program when the transaction is
  running with TASKDATALOC(ANY), as this would cause a protection
  exception, or a storage overwrite.
  
   The programs for these transactions are DFH$DLAC & DFH$DLAE
  respectively. The resource definitions were changed to dataloc
  of ANY but the actual load modules shipped are linked as 24.
