PH51437: UPDATED COBOL COPYBOOKS ARE REQUIRED TO COPE WITH A SIZE INCREASE OF THE EXITPARM STRUCTURE WITH ITX 10.1.1.1

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A crash can occur when using IBM Transformation Extender (ITX)
  10.1.1.1 on the z/OS platform when the user tries to access any
  fields below the error message field in the EXITPARM via the
  COBOL copybook supplied with the product.  The size of the
  C-structure DTXEXITP has changed from 100 to 1000 and updated
  COBOL Copybooks are required to ensure that data does not
  overrun the boundary, causing memory corruption.
  

Local fix

• ITXCQ - ITX00061651
  PB / PB
  Circumvention: COBOL Copybooks can be updated manually as a
  workaround. You can change the COBOL copy book from:
  05   SZERRMSG              PIC X(100).
   to:
  05   SZERRMSG              PIC X(1000).
