  01. The DSA chaining back through linkage stack entries might
      fail when an invalid backchain address in encountered.
  02. A check for the existence of the target history file was
      missing.
  03. DS panels have incomplete information due to an arbitrary
      limit to the number of internal control blocks that can be
      created. Also, there is a problem in sorting some column
      contents.
  04. pp_ke_stack is processing a stack entry for CICS program
      DFHLEPTQ, which has an invalid (negative) iproc offset.
      This causes pp_ke_stack to abend.
  05. French translation support that was being added to a new
      release was included, but not updated, in the previous v12
      service stream.
  06. An XPI call was not correctly allowing for earlier version
      of CICS.
  07. When sending multiple concurrent requests to the PD Tools
      Common Server, the Fault Analyzer plug-in might attempt to
      use the same socket more than once. This will cause a
      connection error and all current requests to fail.
  08. User has issued PURGE of CICS task. FA's IDIXCCEE issues
      EXEC CICS commands in CICSkey and enters WAIT_MVS.
      User issues KILL for task.
      CICS drives LE CEECGEX in USERkey with CICSkey DSA/RSA
      from IDIXCCEE.
  09. APAR PM97968 fixed the 100% CPU loop reported but the
      IDI0131W messages can still occur. This APAR addresses the
      IDI0131W ENQ message not clearing.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. The code has been updated.
  02. A check has been added for the existence of the target
      history file.
  03. The number of internal control blocks which can be created
      has been increased. The panel column sort code has been
      fixed.
  04. pp_ke_stack has been modified to handle the bad offset.
  05. French translations were backported to provide basic support
      in the v12 plug-in.
  06. The XPI has been corrected accordingly.
  07. Server connections have been set to better handle multiple
      concurrent requests by synchronising and handling each
      request to avoid collisions.
  08. IDIXCCEE has been changed to percolate (defer) AEXY abends
      to FA CICS GLUEs, which do not issue EXEC CICS commands
      in a way that can cause the problem.
  09. Code added to correctly retest the ENQ status.
