PH54233: LOGIC TO PROPAGATE THE PREVIOUS RETURN CODE (FROM A USER EXIT PROGRAM) IS MISSING FROM EYU9XLME

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• When Global User Exit XMEOUT programs are in the order of USER
  EXIT program first and EYU9XLME is second. The User exit program
  returns 4 to suppress an XMEOUT message but EYU9XLME does not
  propagate the return code and instead returns 0. The message
  presented to XMEOUT is then not suppressed in the CMAS as
  expected.

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM users                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Messages suppressed in a CMAS by a      *
  *                      customer's XMEOUT message suppression   *
  *                      exit do not get suppressed.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF to all CMASes. This can be     *
  *                 done in any order.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  The CMAS XMEOUT message suppression exit EYU9XLME, does not
  consider the suppression request from earlier XMEOUT exits and
  simply replies do or do not suppress.
  
  When multiple XMEOUT exits give conflicting message suppression
  instructions, the results are unpredictable.
  

Problem conclusion

• EYU9XLME has been modified to check for any possible earlier
  XMEOUT exit request, pointed to by the UEPCRCA input parameter.
  If an earlier exit requests message suppression EYU9XLME will
  agree to suppress the message.
