Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of CICS TG with IPIC connected     *
  *                 CICS servers.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS TG unexpectedly returns abend AXTG *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Attempts to start more concurrent transactions than are allowed
  by the relevant CICS TCLASS definition, result in transactions
  not being started and abend code AKCC being returned to CICS TG.
  The Gateway daemon incorrectly returns abend code AXTG to the
  client application.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS TG has been corrected. CICS TG client applications that
  start a transaction that return an AKCC abend receive return
  code ECI_ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR.
  CICS TG client applications that start a transaction that fails
  with a return code that is not ECI_ERR_TRANSACTION_ABEND
  continue to receive the correct return code, and the abend code
  will not be set to AXTG.
