    *                      more than 124 waiters for a record,     *
    *                      OMEGAMON CICS collecting CICS RLS data  *

    *                      in the SMSVSAM ASCB.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    When there are more than 124 VSAM RLS waiters for a record,
    the OMEGAMON CICS buffer will fill, the continuation call
    does not correctly address the collection buffer resulting in
    CICS RLS data being written to the last usage of that
    pointer - the SMSVSAM ASCB.
    

Problem conclusion

  • OMEGAMON CICS was changed to correctly address the collection
    buffer on all calls.
