PM95331: DOING AN INTERACTIVE REANALYSIS OF A CICS SYSTEM DUMP, USING FA'S SM COMMAND SHOWS INCORRECT VALUES

APAR status

• Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description

• Using IPCS VERBX DFHPD670 'SM' on a CICS system dump shows
  different values than using Fault Analyzer's SM command from
  the command line. On one particular dump under IPCS, using the
  command VERBX DFHPD670 'SM' shows the following data:
  
  SM: Domain subpool summary (ECDSA)
   Name       Id Chn  Initf Bndry Fxlen Q-c
   SMSHRC31 00C9  Y            16
  .
  Gets  Frees  Elems  Elemstg Pagestg
  4621   4167    753 33737424  35088K
  
  ...while using SM from the command line under FA shows:
  
  Name      Id  Chn  Initf Bndry    Fxlen Q-c  *Gets  *Frees
  SMSHRC31 00C9  Y      0K    15 00000000     504621  504167
  .
  Elems   Elemstg  Pagestg
    753   202CAD0   48252K
  
  Here is what initial analysis showed:
  
  Bndry - it appears that FA needs to add 1 to the value in
  SCA_BOUNDARY. This will be corrected.
  
  Gets - the field SCA_GETMAINS contains X'7B32D', Decimal
  504621. It looks like the CICS VERBX is wrong, displaying only
  only the last 4 chars of the decimal value.
  
  Frees - the field SCA_FREEMAINS contains X'7B167', Decimal
  504167. It looks like the CICS VERBX is wrong, displaying only
  the last 4 chars of the decimal value.
  
  Elemstg - FA will be changed to display two columns -- one in
  hex, one in decimal.
  
  Pagestg - FA is using the wrong field. This will be corrected.
