Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A CICS CM MIGRATE writes CICS resources to a DFHCSDUP-format
  export file. A URIMAP resource definition specifies the
  attribute HOST(*). The splitting of HOST(*) on line 000002 at
  column 71 results in the continuation line 000003 commencing
  with an asterisk (*), as illustrated below (redacted, columns
  condensed to fit):

   BEEN OMITTED FROM A NULL VALUE SPECIFIED ON AN ALTER COMMAND.
  DFH5222 E COMMAND NOT EXECUTED.

Local fix

• Manually remove the HOST(*) parameter and have it coded at the
  end to solve the problem.

Problem conclusion

• CICS Configuration Manager is corrected to format the records
  to where possible hold one or more complete keyword/value.
  Only if a single keyword/value combination exceeds the record
  length will a continuation be used.
