Error description
Enhancement to PL/I runtime to resolve problems accessing the SYSDEBUG side file data in a CICS environment.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users debugging PL/I programs in a CICS * * environment who encounter persistent * * problems when accessing SYSDEBUG files. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When debugging a PL/I program in a * * CICS environment, a situation can * * occur where PL/I cannot access the * * SYSDEBUG side file to obtain debugging * * information or extract the PL/I * * program source. * * * * This situation is caused by CICS * * enhancements which interfered * * with the process used by PL/I to * * allocate the SYSDEBUG side file. The * * problem can occur when the TRANISO=YES * * option is specified in the CICS start * * up parameters and the transaction * * being run with the Debug Tool contains * * programs defined with the following * * characteristics: * * EXECKEY(CICS) CONCURRENCY(THREADSAFE) * * API(OPENAPI) * * * * The situation may be diagnosed by * * looking for messages containing the * * IBMPDSFU module name in the CICS * * trace or AUXTRACE output. This problem * * causes a trace message indicating that * * ATTACH failed with a return code 32. * * * * The trace message contains: * * IBMPDSFU: ATTACH RC: 32 * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** Changes to CICS created a situation where the process PL/I uses to allocate the SYSDEBUG side file will fail when a particular combination of CICS start up and program definition options are used. This prevents PL/I from accessing the SYSDEBUG side file.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
A new path has been added to handle cases where the access to the SYSDEBUG side file is denied due to ATTACH receiving a return code 32.
