PM61443: CICS DFH0STAT STATISTICS FOR PROGRAM TOTALS SHOW INCORRECT VALUES FOR CICS TS 1.1.1 AUTOINSTALLED PROGRAMS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer has more than hundreds of PLI PGMs loaded in CICS TS
  1.1.1 VSE . But just a few are reported in CICS TS statistics.
  
  Sample:
  Program Totals
  Programs. . . . . . . : 2,950
  Assembler . . . . . : 2,009
  C . . . . . . . . . : 18
  COBOL . . . . . . . : 7
  LE/VSE. . . . . . . : 0
  PL1 . . . . . . . . : 7
  Other . . . . . . . : 909
  Maps. . . . . . . . . : 433
  Partitionsets . . . . : 1
  Total . . . . . . . . : 3,384
  
  The programs not reported in CICS STATs are installed via
  PGM AUTOINSTALL exit DFHPGADX .
  
  Checking the PGM's via CECI INQ PROG(name) shows that CVDA
  values
  < LANGDeduced( +0000000152 ) >
  < LANGUage( +0000000659 ) >
  are set.
  CVDA 659 is a NOTDEFINED for the language .
  CVDA 152 means PLI as the language.
  

Local fix

• Change the CICS supplied sample DFH0STAT to use LANGDeduced
  option EXEC CICS INQUIRE PROGRAM(PROGRAM-NAME) .
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The STAT transaction (program DFH0STAT) *
  *                      incorrectly counts autoinstalled        *
  *                      programs as language type "Other".      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When DFH0STAT retrieves information about the installed
  programs using EXEC CICS INQUIRE PROGRAM, it uses the
  LANGUAGE() parameter. This does not recognise the type of
  language when a program definition has been created by Program
  Autoinstall.
  
  It must use the LANGDEDUCED() parameter instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• DFH0STAT has been changed to use EXEC CICS INQUIRE PROGRAM
  LANGDEDUCED().
