PH34649: DFHAP0001 ABEND (CODE 0C9/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET X'082A' IN MODULE DFHQRCPU.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The 0C9 is happening during processing, new to CICS/TS 5.6,
  that is gathering information for new message DFHDS0102. The
  program doing that is doing an EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME and
  getting back a current local time that is several weeks into
  the future. And it is doing an EXEC CICS EXTRACT STATISTICS
  DISPATCHER LASTRESETABS and getting back the local time of the
  last statistics reset and this time is not several weeks into
  the future. This causes the time between "now" and the last
  time statistics were reset to not make sense; it is way bigger
  than should be possible.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend 0C9 in DFHQRCPU.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  The customer was running CICS 5.6 regions in an environment with
  a vendor package that manipulated the local date and time. They
  had set the date override to some weeks into the future.
    After CICS started up, they encountered a program check in
  DFHQRCPU on a CVB instruction to convert a packed decimal
  ABSTIME time offset value into binary:
    Abend (code 0C9/AKEA) has occurred at offset X'0000082A' in
  module DFHQRCPU.
    CVB can only accommodate positive values up 2147483647C in
  size.

Problem conclusion

• DFHQRCPU has been changed to use doubleword fields and a
  64 bit convert to binary instruction (CVBG, as opposed to CVB)
  to calculate time offsets, to avoid overflow conditions that
  would previously have resulted in fixed point divide exceptions.
