  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01. Fault analyzer incorrectly reports  *
  *                          COBOL compiler options TRUNC and    *
  *                          CICS.                               *

  *                      02. PL/I overflow exceptions do not     *
  *                          occur after call to IDISNAP.        *
  *                          APAR PM46051                        *
  *                      03. Poor CICS abend analysis            *
  *                          performance.                        *

  *                      04. User "steps" through program with   *
  *                          CEDF and issues PF12 (abend),       *
  *                          User gets EXEC CICS ADDRESS ACEE    *
  *                          screen from Fault Analyzer, which   *
  *                          affects further abend processing.   *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  01. Incorrect bit interpretation for TRUNC sub-options. CICS
      option cannot be reported without a compiler listing having
      been provided since info byte flag is not set.
  02. The PSW program mask was not saved and restored across the
      IDISNAP call.
  03. Large number of loaded CICS programs was causing performance
      problems when analysing.
  04. Fault Analyzer's EXEC CICS ADDRESS ACEE command
      does not set the NOEDF bit to suppress EDF processing
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. TRUNC sub-options corrected. Reporting of CICS option
      removed unless compiler listing has been provided for
      source level support.
  02. The PSW program mask is now saved and restored across the
      IDISNAP call.
  03. Internal processing of large number of loaded programs has
      been enhanced to reduce performance overheads.
  04. Fault Analyzer has been changed to set the NOEDF bit on its
      EXEC CICS ADDRESS ACEE command.
