Error description

  • Running DFH0FORC and displaying the TCPIPSERVICE resources,
there is a new keyword called SPECIFTCPS being passed back on
the DETAIL- CALL between the IPADDRESS and the SOCKETCLOSE.
This is being passed with with length=0 and no value.
SPECIFTCPS is a new parameter which was added in CICS TS

DFH$FORP) but not for DFH0FORC.
