Error description
Fulfill customer requirement MR0308125519 to change EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME to return the time in units of milliseconds instead of units of 1/100 of a second.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Enhance EXEC CICS ASKTIME to return the * * full number of milliseconds and not * * round the result to the nearest * * hundredth of a second. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME currently returns the number of milliseconds rounded to one hundredth of a second, that is, the last digit will always be a zero. This APAR ensures that the result will always be in units of one thousandth of a second, that is, the last digit will be a value in the range 0 to 9. EXEC CICS FORMATTIME ABSTIME is not changed as it already allows for this precision.
Problem conclusion
DFHEIDTI has been changed to implement the new precision for ASKTIME ABSTIME. Manual SC33-1658-04 CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA Application Programming Reference has been changed to describe the difference in behaviour of the ASKTIME command on page 19: ABSTIME(data-area) specifies the data area for the time, in packed decimal, since 00:00 on 1 January 1900 (in milliseconds rounded down to the nearest thousandth of a second).
