Error description
In CICS 5.6 there is a problem in parsing multiple program names in the program list table, eg. if the PLT contains more then one program as shown in this example; DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY, ENABLE XMEOUT EXIT, X PROGRAM=(progname1,progname2) INIT PHASE 1 This will result in the following message; DFHSI1579D applid MODULE DFHSIPLT PLT PROGRAM (progname1 NOT FOUND. REPLY GO OR CANCEL. The bracket character "(" is being included as part of the program name, thus resulting in the not found error. Additional symptoms: KIXREVTT DFHSI1579 Program List Table
Local fix
Code the programs as separate entries rather then a comma separated list; DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY, ENABLE XMEOUT EXIT X PROGRAM=progname1 DFHPLT TYPE=ENTRY, INIT PHASE 1 X PROGRAM=progname2
