  It will produce an AP0001 dump. It will be followed by:
  
  DFHXM0310 A severe error (code X'1308') has occurred while
  terminating task number nnnn with transaction identifier xxxx.
  If the task had a principal facility, it has been released.
  The task is suspended indefinitely.
  
  Followed by an XM0310 dump.
  
  CICS cannot be terminated normally.

  ****************************************************************
  After applying PM81883 there is a small possibility of S0C4
  abends in DFHICP due to a non-zero IC token being set after a
  RETRIEVE is done. Instead of setting zeros, the first 4 bytes
  at location 0 in storage is used. In most z/VSE systems this
  contains a value of zero, but that may not always be true.
  
  As the abend occurs when DFHICXM calls DFHICP, the task is
  placed into a FOREVER wait with an XM0310 dump, it will not
  terminate and CICS will not shut down normally.

Problem conclusion

• UK93969
  
  DFHICP has been changed to always set a zero token value.
