PK28288: QMF V81 ABENDS0C1 IN DSQCCI WHEN FAULT ANALYZER IS ALSO RUNNING.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If DSQCCI detects a non-zero value in the TCBCAUF field of the
  TCB control block, it assumes CICS is present.  However, the
  Fault Analyzer product also uses TCBCAUF.  Merely checking
  for a non-zero is insufficient for identifying a CICS TCB.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All QMF for TSO and CICS V810 users.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An ABENDS0C1 occurs in DSQCCI when      *
  *                      a branch to a nonexistent CICS stub     *
  *                      is attempted.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Historically, QMF examined the contents of the TCBCAUF field
  in the TCB under which it is running to determine whether
  CICS is active.  Other products, such as Fault Analyzer, have
  begun using TCBCAUF for their own purposes, so the presence of
  a nonzero value in TCBCAUF no longer necessarily indicates
  CICS is active.
  QMF assumed CICS's presence from the nonzero value in TCBCAUF
  and tried to branch to a nonexistent CICS stub, thus incurring
  the abend.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed in DSQQCIC to determine whether the CICS
  eyecatcher "AFCX" is present at the address represented in
  TCBCAUF.
