PK26016: SUPPLIED GROUP DFHDCTG IS LOCKED AFTER PK19855 06/06/06 PTF PECHANGE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 5655M1500
  Before PK19855, IBM supplied group DFHDCTG was not locked,
  (IBM PROTECTED). This allowed customers to alter supplied DCT
  definitions without having to make a copy within their own group
  . PK19855 locked the group where customers are no longer able to
  alter the supplied definitions. The Resource Definition Guide,
  Appendix 2.1 DFHLIST Definitions, documents group DFHDCTG is not
  IBM protected.

  ****************************************************************
  PTF UK13428 defined new resource TDQUEUE(CDEP) into CICS group
  DFHDCTG updating both DFHCURDI and DFHCURDM.
  However, after defining the new resource in DFHCURDM the group
  is then locked making it IBM PROTECTED. As a result definitions
  contain in group DFHDCTG cannot now be modified. Group DFHDCTG
  should not be locked and modifications should be allowed.

Problem conclusion

• UK13428
  DFHCURDM has been changed so the group DFHDCTG is not locked
  after defining resource TDQUEUE(CDEP).
