  ****************************************************************
  01. Abend0c4 using a bad caa pointer.
  02. Extremely long Cobol statement exceeds internal buffer.
  03. After an ATTACH failure an attempt was being make to DETACH
      a null value leading to the S23E abend.
  04. NORENT + NOWRITABLE(FWS) locates CONTROLLED variable anchors
      in automatic storage. Fault Analyzer does not recognise
      this and uses a static storage base address which may cause
      IDI00092 or bad data to be reported.
  05. Options reporting needs to be refreshed.
  06. String is not null terminated after ISPF VCOPY operation.
  07. RBLINKB pointer is zero.
  08. Host support module passes DETAIL(LONG) to Fault Analyzer
      for reanalysis and this option cannot be overridden by any
      of the supported methods.This results in large amounts of
      data being transferred.
  09. If FA is invoked on a L8 TCB the subsequent ATTACH fails.
  10. Loop in COBOL Perform Traceback code due to missing pvn
      information in LANGX label symbol record.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. LE CAA validation improved.
  02. Internal buffer is dynamically allocated based on statement.
  03. A check has been added for a null TCB value
  04. Fault Analyzer now recognises anchors in automatic storage.
  05. Cobol V6 options reporting is updated.
  06. String is null terminated.
  07. Additional validation for RBLINKB added.
  08. Module IDIGMAIN is changed to remove DETAIL(LONG).
      Customers using the Fault Analyzer plugin will need to
      either provide override options or have the host default
      options changed to use DETAIL(LONG).
  09. FA will cause a TCB SWITCH to the QR TCB from where the
      ATTACH works successfully.
  10. Fault Analyzer now handles missing pvn information.
