  ****************************************************************
  01. A CDE data area size was incorrectly set to 40 bytes.
  02. DSA address not passed to COBOL side file functions causes
      slow running entry point detection.
  03. Although the display accepts the change, the history file is
      not being updated.
  04. Fault Analyzer does not check the flag which indicates that
      registers contain 64-bit values, and therefore formats them
      as if they contained 32-bit values.
  05. CICS 4.2 added a new CONCURRENCY option. Fault Analyzer was
      not updated to show that new option value.
  06. An S0C4 abend can occur if the Fault Analyzer router SVC is
      FREEMAINed when the TCB that loads it is DETACHed.
  07. The required data is now referenced by a 64-bit pointer and
      this was not being correctly allowed for.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. The CDE data area size has been changed to 32 bytes.
  02. DSA address now passed to COBOL side file functions.
  03. The history file is now being updated.
  04. Fault Analyzer has been changed to use 64-bit formatting
      when the 64-bit flag is set.
  05. Fault Analyzer has been changed to present the correct
      CONCURENCY value - QUASIRENT/THREADSAFE/REQUIRED.
  06. The CDE use count error is corrected.
  07. The 64-bit pointer is now correctly allowed for.
