  ****************************************************************
  01. For LE transactions running on a L9 TCB, control was being
      returned to the Fault Analyzer invocation exit on the L9
      TCB. A DETACH call could potentially be issued, which is not
      valid from the L9 TCB.
  02. The check for the cursor position within the ISPF dynamic
      area failed to correctly cater for the hidden help text.
  03. When XCF message delays occur, the IDIS subsystem recovery
      might get an ENQ status error that causes recurring IDI0131W
      messages until the IDIS subsystem is restarted.
  04. Dimension not decremented correctly.
  05. Scope slot index is out of bounds.
  06. A storage overlay in the customer environment caused control
      blocks to contain invalid values. A text string was missing
      the terminating character, causing Fault Analyzer to get a
      S0C4.
  07. The determination of display characteristics to be used for
      the re-display did not correctly handle the situation where
      the history file contains zero fault entries.
  08. The ZSCROLLA value returned by VGET in this environment
      was not blank-padded as expected.
  09. The symbol substitution service output buffer length was
      set too short.
  10. The user ID displayed is the one from the job's ACEE.
  11. A valid history file data set name had not been set from the
      Fault Entry List display prior to the dump analysis,
      resulting in a blank history file data set name being
      checked for access authorization.
  12. The RFR SDUMP after an out of storage IDI0055S message might
      not get a TCB selected for analysis.
  13. More than one fault entry for the same job and timestamp if
      delays in XCF coupling facility messages cause retransmit of
      a fault ID assignment.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. The DETACH is now only attempted when running on the QR TCB.
  02. The problem has been corrected.
  03. ENQ processing changed to accommodate the timing issues.
  04. Dimension decremented corrected.
  05. Scope slot index corrected.
  06. The code was modified to limit the length of the string
      processed.
  07. The problem has been corrected.
  08. The ZSCROLLA value is now processed correctly, regardless of
      blank-padding after VGET.
  09. The buffer length has been set to the correct value.
  10. If a user ID is found in an IMS IOPCB, then it will be shown
      instead of the job's ACEE user ID.
  11. A check has been added for the existence of a non-blank
      history file data set name prior to the RACHECK call.
  12. The code has bee updated to determine the TCB issuing the
      RFR call.
  13. The code has been updated to cater for the potential
      re-transmission of an assignment request via XCF.
