PM66923: FM/CICS IS NOT HANDLING OUTPUT CLASS CORRECTLY.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. Clarify how and where parameters are specified for
  the initial allocation of SYSTSPRT and SYSPRINT for the FMNCAS
  server task when a task is spawned.
  2. Once the spawned task is running, SYSPRINT should be
  reallocated according to the class specified in the Print
  Settings panel if SYSPRINT (as opposed to terminal, data
  set, etc) is selected.  This may also relate to FM/CICS
  when running with START=BATCH as well as START=TASK in FMN3POPT.

Problem conclusion

• Two new options will be added to the SERVER options that will be
  used to determine the SYSPRINT and SYSTSPRT SYSOUT class. The
  following new keywords will be added.
  TSOCLASS=c    This will determine the class for SYSTSPRT
  PRTCLASS=c    This will determine the class for SYSPRINT.
  Example.
  SERVER PORT=nnnn,PATH=/u/dir/FMNSPAWN,TSOCLASS=X,PRTCLASS=H
  will perform the following allocations in the spawned address
  space.
  //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=X
  //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=H
