Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The number of milliseconds returned * * by EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME may be * * lower than the actual value in some * * cases. * **************************************************************** EXEC CICS ASKTIME ABSTIME returns the time in units of milliseconds and not 1/100s of a second. Depending on the time at which the command is actioned by CICS, there may be a rounding error which causes the millisecond digit to be lower than it should be.
Problem conclusion
DFHEIDTI has been corrected to ensure that the number of milliseconds returned by ASKTIME ABSTIME is always correct.
