  01. User abend code not formatted correctly for NFY.SYNOPSIS
      when a duplicate fault is detected.
  02. PPA4 is overlayed resulting in bad CUI pointer.
  03. APAR OA49595 invalidates the Fault Analyzer usermod zap to
      IEAVTABD.
  04. The user defined description was overflowing the variable
      used to hold it and consequently caused parts of the message
      to be repeated.
  05. Buffer used to process data returned from binder was too
      small and hence an overlay occurred.
  06. DFHTRANSACTION was introduced in CICS/TS 5.2 as a task level
      channel rather than the existing link level channels and
      as such was not being correctly discovered.
  07. Unexpected DWARF data types used for ODO variable types.
  08. Some programs were incorrectly identified as FORTRAN which
      lead to an incorrect entry point being displayed in the
      event list.
  09. Integrity fix
  10. The IDIS subsystem parameter NOUPDINDEX prevents RFR
      processing.
  11. The FA CICS exit encounters a problem with the CICS trace
      table and takes an early exit, bypassing the setting of R6
      which is needed for COMITSG processing. COMITSG suffers an
      0C4 because R6 is bad.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. User abend code is now formatted correctly
  02. CUI timestamp self-checked.
  03. The usermod/zap has been updated.
  04. The overall length of the user defined description is now
      checked to prevent an overflow.
  05. The buffer size has been increased.
  06. Code has been added to process task level channels.
  07. Support for DW_ATE_unsigned_fixed and DW_ATE_signed fixed
      added.
  08. The test for whether a program is FORTRAN has been
      strengthened.
  09. Integrity fix
  10. Message IDI0148E now explains the link between NOUPDINDEX
      and the failure of RFR processing.
      User's guide has been updated to note the requirement.
  11. The FA CICS exits have been modified to set R6 earlier,
      so that it will be valid when needed.
