1. Autoinstall for cross domain terminals fail with an abend AICA and message DFHZC2404.
2. Flashcopy VSAM dialog should allow labeled tapes and also unload or rewind the tape.
3. SKICFRST will not restore all system parts in the non NLS library. IMVERUP.Z should be used.
4. Printer models and non SNA terminals had IOAREALEN(256,0). This leads to problems printing reports on terminal printers using the report control feature. Length changed to IOAREALEN(1024,4096).

1. No SIZE parameter in the EXEC MSHP step of PTF application job stream. In case the SIZE value for the partition is different than the specified value in the ALLOC procedure, PTF application may fail.

1. Transaction security dialog does not work correctly in case of non standard LIBDEF chain.
2. Supervisor generation skeleton change size of workfile IJSYS03.
3. Allow own POWER phase and allocation in case of a release upgrade using FSU.
4. Run program DTRIPSTL in FSU Preparation to make sure correct product setup is used in FSU Installation.
5. Job accounting using DMF:
   - For fast CPUs avoid program check in case of a zero value for CPU TIME count.

  1. Changed DLBL for C/VSE message file old label was 'C370 ...'.
  2. User modified startup jobs for TCP/IP, VTAM, virtual tape server partition, secondary CICS, CICS/VSE and the connector server partition should be kept during FSU.
  3. FSU step DTRFSU15 is jumping over the assign for the tape drive in case of resume.
  4. Skeleton SKWRKFIL has an invalid ASSGN statement. In addition, the allocation for workfile 3 is too small.

1. Panel IESFILSPC shows incorrect values for a big 3390 device.
2. IUI panel IESFILCSPC is showing incorrect VSAM information on D/T3390.
3. LISTCAT showing cylinders instead of tracks as it should be.

1. Panel IESFILSPC shows incorrect values for a big 3390 device.
2. IUI panel IESFILCSPC is showing incorrect VSAM information on D/T3390.
3. LISTCAT showing cylinders instead of tracks as it should be.

1. Autoinstall for cross domain terminals did not work. Message DFHZC2404 is issued and abend AICA for transaction CATA occured.
2. Flashcopy VSAM dialog should allow labeled tapes and also unload or rewind the tape.

1. No SIZE parameter in the EXEC MSHP step of PTF application job stream. In case the SIZE value for the partition is different than the specified value in the ALLOC procedure, PTF application may fail.
2. PSW pointing to an invalid address was not validated using VALADDR routine.

1. Abend ASRA in IESOPIA - address validation needs to be extended.
2. FSU release upgrade - enhance JCL for defining crypto library in case a job catalog is used, the library is not defined in master catalog.

EXEC  CICS INQUIRE,
      TRANSACTION(EISSECTR),
      PROGRAM(EISPGM),
      ....

1. GETL fails if jobnames start with the character combination of QC. Checking for QC operand in DTSGETQ has been removed.
2. If VSE/ICCF message exit routine DTSMSGS gets control from the console router at a specific stage during ICCF shutdown, it can cause a program check or hardwait. DTSMSGS now checks in the ICCF vector table if ICCF is terminating

1. Message IESV1002 displaying a high number of selection panels or application profiles.
2. Bad performance pressing SORT by name key in ICCF Program Development dialog. Only sort by size is expected to have a lower performance.
3. Minor problem in REXX program DMPMGR.

6. Enhance error handling in DTRMRG procedure for indirect PTF application. Procedure will issue error comments on console in case of problems.

1. Abend IE08 signing off a user running application profile maintenance or selection panel maintenance with logon here, or display active user dialog.
2. Storage violation may occur if a user running the IUI console gets a timeout or is signed off by logon here, or display active users dialog.
3. Uppercase translation also of message explanation text in case IESJDEF or IJBJDEF default is set to uppercase.
4. New parameters for dump management procedure DMPMGR to allow deletion of dumps by age or date.
5. Continuation card wrong in DFHDCTCO.
6. Changes in programmable interface for sign on program IESIES01.
7. Minor problem in FSU - install DB2.
8. Allocation of VSAM space for master catalog not correct in case of FBA 9336 Model 10 disks. End VTOC will be hit.
9. Autoinstall with more than 999 terminals does not switch to the next prefix.

1. Default setting for temporary storage startup was TS=(,8,8), should be changed to TS=(COLD,8,8).
2. Member NLSVERUP was not correct for German, Japanese and Spanish system.

1. CSD setup modified to first append DFHLIST to VSELST2. This will make sure the modified CSNE transaction is defined with TWASIZE 400.
2. New skeleton SKCICMD will establish a transaction and program to allow GETVIS xx,RESET command issued from CICS. This program can also be invoked during PLT startup. The GETVIS xx,RESET was established with DY45817.
3. New skeleton SKSUPDMP to establish a program to suppress dumps and to force dumps in case of storage violations.
4. Enhancement for dump management procedure DMPMGR to allow automatic dump processing by age.
5. New skeleton SKCCERT to establish sample client certificates.
6. TCP/IP startup job, PFIX incorrect. Any value above 16 MB may only be specified in case there is real storage above.

1. Supervisor generation skeleton SKSUPASM and the PTF application job stream should refer to the delta libraries PRD2.GEN1D and PRD1.MACLIBD which should be in search chain ahead of PRD2.GEN1 and PRD1.MACLIB.
2. Release upgrade from 2.4 and 2.5 should add a label for CRYPTO library.
3. CSD migration tool SKSECTXS will allow PCT entries without TRANSEC and add them to the transaction security definition with security class 1.
4. Minor typos in skeleton SKJOURO.
5. DFHDCTCO should not trigger IEWR transaction.

1. Dump management, new CICS region IE added to the dialog.
2. TCP/IP configuration dialog allows to also generate the VTAM application definition for Telnet daemons.
3. New dialog Maintain Certificates - User IDs.
4. DFHSITSP and DFHSITC2 changed.

1. Dump management, new CICS region IE added to the dialog.
2. TCP/IP configuration dialog allows to also generate the VTAM application definition for Telnet daemons.
3. New keys and certificates valid until March 2003.
4. New dialog Maintain Certificates - User IDs.
5. PTF application, error handling in DTRMRG procedure enhanced. In case of an out-of-space situation during the merge, return code of 8 will show up.
6. IESBLDUP sample job, add PAUSE statement with instructions how to close IESCNTL in BSM and CICS.
7. Minor setup problems with CICS/VSE coexisting environment, startup job and skeleton to define journal files was wrong.
8. Default allocation values for skeleton SKVTAPE were too high

1. /SKIP PREVIOUS (PF7) while browsing an XMIT QUEUE ENTRY always skips to top. VSE/ICCF did not check if a transmit queue entry is of type reader and used for number of lines field from the VSE/POWER SPL ( SPLDLCT ). This field is hex zero and led to the false positioning. ICCF command processor DTSTX03 uses now field SPLDRCT
2. &&MAXLOOP order is used to specify the maximum permissible loop value before the procedure is cancelled. The default value is 150 and the maximum is 4096. This number was to small for some users. The limitation of 4096 for &&MAXLOOP in DTSPROCS has been removed. It's still recommended to stay with the default setting and use the increased limit with caution. This has been documented in the VSE/ICCF User's Guide.

1. Panel IESFILDETG shows number of bytes, but in case of an extended KSDS, the used High RBA field from VSAM does not contain the number of bytes but the number of control intervals.
   The panel should show both.
2. For the German, the Spanish and the Japanese system, the release upgrade from 2.4.x and 2.5.x will not work, message 4113D NO HDR1 LABEL FOUND is issued in FSU step 22 B.
   Circumvention is to reset to step 23, job DTRFSU23 using the job manager.
   The NLS part of the ICCF library has to be restored after the FSU is completed using step 2 of the job in skeleton SKICFRST in ICCF library 59.

1. PF4 key is used to jump back to a VTAM USS10 message (SNA) or the VSE TCPIP MENUE panel when there is one defined.
   When the customer has defined the TARGET=DBDCCIC in his TELNETD there is no function behind the key '4=REMOTE APPLICATIONS'.
   The customer states that his users gets confused when there is no function behind a key which is displayed to him.
   We should add some logic to display the key only for certain terminals, for example the ones defined with the terminal attribute DISCREQ=NO.
2. Allow program call to IESIES01 in order to sign on to Interactive Interface.

1. In case of an abend, the operands of the failing instruction are exploited by OLPD. With CICS TS, storage boundaries are not stored in the CSA and there is no CICS TS service allowing to retrieve the boundaries. So the storage boundaries of the CICS partition are calculated by means of the EXTRACT information.

1. After application of TCPIP for VSE service pack 1.4C message "BSST24I ACCESS DENIED DUE TO UNSUPPORTED REQUEST. TYPE = 14 FTYPE = 00" is returned from BSSTISX security module on FTP requests.
   Connectivity Systems has confirmed that the SXBLOK layout has been modified in this service pack and BSSTISX needs to be changed to support the new SXBLOK layout.

1. Using virtual tape server or the connector server on a IBM R21 (SIR output: PROCESSOR = 9672-33) gives an operation exception on a CHI instruction OP code 'A7rE'
   This operation code is generated by a wrong level C compiler used with VSE/ESA 2.6.0.
   There might also be other instructions/OP codes generated which are not supported by this hardware.

1. The sample exit SKEXIT1 uses IESEXIT1 as name, also the Administration guide refers to this name, however, the signon program IESIES01 invokes exit program IESEXIT.

1. If upgrade of the generation feature is selected on panel SRV$FS03, step 16, job DTRFSU16 fails with message 1F33D PARAMETER XLAST NOT DEFINED .

1. DFHSITSP and DFHSITC2 changed MSGLVL back to 1 (was 0).
2. Minor errors on panel help information for panels: PRB$IDHD, SRV$PH02 and SRV$PH03.

1. DFHSITSP and DFHSITC2 changed MSGLVL back to 1 (was 0).
2. Analyzing a CICS TS dump should run in a larger partition than BG by default.
3. Skeleton SKJADACC had an invalid object deck.
4. SKVTAPE should define the virtal tape cluster with share option 1 instead of 2.
5. Shut down PLTs modified instructions concerning DFH0STAT.

1. DFHDCTCO comments where to insert entries are not correct.
2. DUMPINIT should establish CICS/VSE dump analysis routine DFHDAP in the external routine file. If CICS/VSE is set up without using SKPREPCO or SKPREPSO, dumps can not be analyzed.
3. Allow one character userids to be migrated from an SNT.
4. Change COMPATIBLE WITH handling for optional product installation for products DB2 and CICS/VSE. PTM PV030197STU.
5. Comments in SKIWSTF not removed completely by @DTRSEXIT.
6. Compatibility group DFHCOMP2 incorrect in preparation member SKPREPSO, should be DFHCOMP1.
7. Not all comments removed in skeleton SKPWRGEN.
8. Changed default values and comments in skeleton SKVTAPE.
9. MERGIP procedure should not issue messages. PTM PV030069HOH
10. If a PORT is specified in the product installation dialog and a VSAM file name, 474 should be issued: YOU MAY EITHER SPECIFY VSAM FILE OR IP ADDRESS

1. GETL fails if jobnames start with the character combination of QC. Checking for QC operand in DTSGETQ has been removed
2. If VSE/ICCF message exit routine DTSMSGS gets control from the console router at a specific stage during ICCF shutdown, it can cause a program check or hardwait. DTSMSGS now checks in the ICCF vector table if ICCF is terminating 

Abend AEIV (LENGERR) occurred in an application program using CICS Listener function EXEC CICS RETRIEVE. This is due to a change in length of the CICS Listener output area.

CICS socket listener ABEND0C4 at x'12' in EZACIC02. The Program Check occurs because EZACIC02, offset 13B2, branches into an area with no executable code. This branch is done out of an EXEC CICS call:

EXEC CICS INQUIRE,
     TRANSACTION(EISSECTR), 
     PROGRAM(EISPGM),   
     ....

1. Abend IE08 signing off a user running application profile maintenance or selection panel maintenance with logon here, or display active user dialog.
2. Storage violation may occur if a user running the IUI console gets a timeout or is signed off by logon here, or display active users dialog.
3. Uppercase translation also of message explanation text in case IESJDEF or IJBJDEF default is set to uppercase.
4. Typos in SKJOURO.

• MESSAGE: DFHSR0001 A40CICS2 An abend (code 0C1/AKEA) has occurred at offset X'0000177E' in program IESSCRIO.
• SYMPTOMS: PIDS/564805400 LVLS/411 MS/DFHSR0001 RIDS/DFHSRP PTFS/VSE411 AB/S00C1 AB/UAKEA RIDS/IESSCRIO ADRS/0000177E

1. Storage dump management dialog shows DLI as parameter analyzing CICS TS dumps. DLI is not valid.
   In order to dump application related parts, AP should be added to the default options.
2. SIT parameter BMS changed to BMS=(FULL,,UNALIGN,NODDS). This avoids AEI9 abends sending maps.

1. Storage dump management dialog shows DLI as parameter analyzing CICS TS dumps. DLI is not valid.
   In order to dump application related parts, AP should be added to the default options.
2. DFH0STAT program is shipped as a sample with CICS TS to print CICS statistics. This program needs to be compiled with the Cobol/VSE compiler before it can be used. Users without having the compiler installed cannot use the program.
3. COMPATIBLE WITH statement installing DB2 and CICS/VSE should only get generated in case the installed product is DB2 or CICS.
4. SKJADACC skeleton invalid object deck included, this leads to link errors.
5. Invalid CSD compatibility group DFHCOMP2 in skeleton SKPREPSO. Group is obsolete.
6. In case of a return code of 8, the merge procedure should not continue processing.
7. SIT parameter BMS changed to BMS=(FULL,,UNALIGN,NODDS). This avoids AEI9 abends sending maps.

1. After application of TCP/IP for VSE service pack 1.4C message "BSST24I ACCESS DENIED DUE TO UNSUPPORTED REQUEST. TYPE = 14 FTYPE = 00" is returned from BSSTISX security module on FTP requests.
   Connectivity Systems has confirmed that the SXBLOK layout has been modified in this service pack and BSSTISX needs to be changed to support the new SXBLOK layout.

• PF4 key is used to jump back to a VTAM USS10 message (SNA) or to the VSE TCP/IP MENUE panel when there is one defined.
  When the customer has defined the TARGET=DBDCCIC in his TELNETD there is no function behind the key '4=REMOTE APPLICATIONS'.
  The customer states that his users gets confused when there is no function behind a key which is displayed to him.
  We should add some logic to display the key only for certain terminals, for example the ones defined with the terminal attribute DISCREQ=NO.

• In case of an abend, the operands of the failing instruction are exploited by OLPD.
  With CICS TS, storage boundaries are not stored in the CSA and there is no CICS TS service allowing to retrieve the boundaries.
  So the storage boundaries of the CICS partition are calculated by means of the EXTRACT information.

• The sample exit SKEXIT1 uses IESEXIT1 as name, also the Administration guide refers to this name, however, the signon program IESIES01 invokes exit program IESEXIT.

• A storage violation (code X'0F0C') detected DFHSMAR. One of the transaction storage trailer SAA was overlaid.
  The buffer provided to hold output for a CEMT I TA command is obviously too small.

1. /SKIP PREVIOUS (PF7) while browsing an XMIT QUEUE ENTRY always skips to top. VSE/ICCF did not check if a transmit queue entry is of type reader and used for number of lines field from the VSE/POWER SPL ( SPLDLCT ). This field is hex zero and led to the false positioning.
   ICCF command processor DTSTX03 uses now field SPLDRCT
2. &&MAXLOOP order is used to specify the maximum permissible loop value before the procedure is cancelled. The default value is 150 and the maximum is 4096. This number was to small for some users.
   The limitation of 4096 for &&MAXLOOP in DTSPROCS    
   has been removed. It's still recommended to stay with the default setting and use the increased limit with caution.This has been documented in the VSE/ICCF User's Guide.

1. Using Display Storage Layout and it looks like all fields are blank when running any REXX program.
   It's as if there is nothing in the partition.

1. VSE/ICCF high priority task has been cancelled by the supervisor with cancel code x'21'. This means ' an invalid SVC was isued. The issued SVC was a MODFLD SVC 107 ( x'6B' ). Problem only happened when this specific task has come to EOT. VSE/ICCF high priority task now checks if the task has come to EOT before it issues the SVC. Otherwise the normal EOJ  processing by the high priority task is performed.
2. LOOP in SUBMIT to POWER program DTSSUBMT holds a table with all VSE/POWER * $$ LST operands. An entry has besides other's the name of the operand, the entry length and an output area. DTSSUBMT analyzes the user's * $$ LST card and steps true the table using the entry lengths. One length entry has been overwritten and caused the pointer register working in an area with all hex zeros. The overlay happened while processing
    the DEST operand. Reason for the loop was that step register content became negative. DTSSUBMT has been changed, that step register content will never be negative.

1. Running the "Migrate step" during initial installation, the control file is already open by the VSE security manager.
   Thus the IESBLDUP step does not run.
   Customer has to close the file with command MSG FB,DATA=CLOSECNTL and resume.
2. Some users have userids defined with less than 4 characters.
   Such users are defined in the SNT.
   IESBLDUP utility will allow such users to be migrated (as type 3 users).

1. Using the dialog to backup a VSAM file (fastpath 3713) results in II abend MG04 for SIP$MSG 106. The original message is 69 characters long and has two message inserts.
   The problem occurs entering extents with more than 4 digits.

1. CICS does not answer to MSG F2 commands due to the fact that MXT is reached. For some reason VTAM closed which resulted in a bunch of IENP transactions being started automatically. This causes MXT to be reached and no further task can be started.
2. With UQ57162 applied, after signing on, any entered data on screen IESADMIN puts the user back to the signon screen.

1. With the CC option and record larger than 256 bytes ('100'x) first byte of the 8 byte record prefix is kept, and the remaining 7 bytes are overwritten by the record. Since record length is larger than 256, in the specific case it is '10C'X, only 'C'X bytes are shifted since the field SAVRECLN is limited to 256.
2. There is no operator communication possible after message IESI0222I is displayed on the console.
3. With storage protection on message DFHAP0001 abend code 0C4/ADEA has occurred offset '02E'x in IESCLEAN.

1. The AEIP occurred with an EXEC CICS FREEMAIN where the address was odd.
   The FREEMAIN in IESSCRIO is only done in case the terminal has the katakana feature defined.

1. The storage overlay is in a storage accounting area, the pattern 'F0'x is changed to 'EF'x and two bytes further, is changed to 'F5' (NI 'FD'x).
   The second overlay is in the task the first one in the second byte of the SAA.
   First overlay is a minus one in the first half word.

1. Running the "Migrate step" during initial installation, the control file is already open by the VSE security manager.
   Thus the IESBLDUP step does not run.
   Customer has to close the file with command MSG FB,DATA=CLOSECNTL and resume.
2. Some users have userids defined with less than 4 characters.
   Such users are defined in the SNT.
   IESBLDUP utility will allow such users to be migrated (as type 3 users).

1. Your user profile requires that you be connected to the application defined by application profile IMARY Su directly after Sign On.
   That application profile either does not exist or has invalid contents.

1. Customer has installed a VSE/ESA 2.5.1 with GERMAN language.
   Default CICS/TS 1.1.1 (ICCFCICS) is used.
   When PF1 (HELP) at panel IESBQUC (IN-CRATION-QUEUE ; fastpath 326) is pressed an ABENDAEY9 ( transaction IESR ) comes up.
   Pressing the HELP (PF1) button on other panels works well.

1. POST/BASE processing gets message that the required primary application is invalid.
2. DFHPEP does not return after XCTL to IESOPDC. So it does not make sense to retrieve the return code.
3. EXEC CICS XCTL should be replaced by EXEC CICS LINK to allow customer modifications after IESOPDC comes back.
4. IESCLEAN does not handle TCTUA above correctly, it should be able to handle TCTUA's above.

1. If a programmer user id specifies a prefix on panel IESLIBP, he will see all members in the specified library not only the members he owns. Pressing the refresh key (PF2) will show only his own members.
2. Group DFHCOMP2 is not defined in CSD after initial installation.
