Error description

• MSGDFHSM0002 x'0C01' invalid GETMAIN request when an application
  running on a CICS/TS for z/OS R3.1 system issues a DL/I call.
  The abend is discovered in module DFHXFP (UK01576 level). There
  is a field called  RIBIOAWK, which is part of DLZRIB. This is
  found in the DFHISDLI.COPY part. The field is supposed to be the
  length of the 24bit getmain request and the value is x'04000004.

  There are two connected VSE systems. One is the application
  owning region and the other is the database owning region.
  The AOR function ships a DL/I request to the DOR. During the
  return processing on the AOR an invalid length is found during
  a GETMAIN request which leads to an ABENDAXF3.
  
  The invalid length is due to DLZRIB being addressed
  incorrectly and so the invalid length is being picked up from
  another area of storage.

Problem conclusion

• DFHXFDL had been altered to ensure that DLZRIB is pointed
  to correctly and so the actual length value is picked up
  for the GETMAIN request.
