PH71625: STOP ISSUING DFHH0505 WARNING WHEN CMDSEC IS SET TO ALWAYS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following warning DFHH0505 is issued when XCMD is set to YES
  in a CICS region where any transaction is identified specifying
  CMDSEC(NO):
  
  DFHH0505 CMDSEC(NO) has been specified on a transaction but
  XCMD=YES.
  
  When CMDSEC is set to ALWAYS, transaction level CMDSEC values
  are ignored. In the scenario where XCMD is set to YES, CMDSEC is
  set to ALWAYS, and there is at least one transaction defined
  with CMDSEC set to NO, the DFHH0505 warning is unnecessarily
  issued.

  issued when a transaction is identified specifying CMDSEC(NO).
  
  When the CICS region is configured with CMDSEC=ALWAYS, all
  transaction defined CMDSEC values are overridden to ensure
  command security is enabled. In this scenario, the DFHH0505
  warning is unnecessarily issued.
