Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Translation of EXEC CICS statements in COBOL source results in
  an erroroneous Move of invalid data to DFHEIV0, and DFHEIV0 is
  not defined in the output source. This leads to error messages b
  eing issued during compilation of the translated output includin

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid DBCS characters present in      *
  *                      the translated output of a CICS COBOL   *
  *                      program. DFHEIV0 is referenced but not  *
  *                      defined in the output.                  *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The CICS translator will output an extra line of generated
  COBOL for each EXEC CICS command it encounters. This is a move
  of invalid data to variable DFHEIV0, which is not defined.
  This is due to the translator incorrectly generating a statement
  before it has a valid pointer to the argument it is translating.
  

Problem conclusion

• UK19817
  The CICS Translator has been amended to not generate temporary
  variable assignments when the keyword pointer is null.
