Error description
1. CALLs result in called program taking on the environment of the calling program and should not result in a TCB switch. Listing them as non- threadsafe is misleading. Wth CICS IA V3.2 and CICS TS V4, a new XPI was introduced called "Identify Program." This new XPI allows CICS IA to correctly map the dynamic call chain without depending on the LE chain. The "Identify Program" XPI can be used in CICS TS V3, and CICS IA V3.1 will be able to use the "Identify Program" with APAR PM46966. Prior to this maintenance - CALLS displayed on the Threadsafe report as LOAD's. 2. Running the Program Threadsafe report, a field 'Linkedit Date' is printed. This field is filled with '01-01-0001' for all programs. Additional Symptom(s) Search Keyword(s): KIXREVEPH

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: CICS IA 3.1 users that exploit the * * Program Threadsafe report. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. Program CIUNTSQ2 producing the * * Threadsafe Report lists 'CALL' commands * * as non-threadsafe. * * * * 2. Program CIUNTSQ2 producing the * * Threadsafe Report generate '01-01-0001' * * in the 'Linkedit Date' column for all * * programs. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF and perform HOLD ACTION. * **************************************************************** 1. 'CALL' command was introduced by APAR PM46966 and indicates a dynamic COBOLL call. The list of CICS commands that are threadsafe (CIU_THREADSAFE_CMD table) does not contain 'CALL' command because it is not a CICS command. 2. The 'Linkedit Date' column reserved for future use. It can be removed from report.
Problem conclusion
1. Command 'CALL' has been added to the CIU_THREADSAFE_CMD table to not mislead. 2. Code of the CIUNTSQ2 program has been changed to remove 'Linkedit Date' data from the CICS IA Threadsafe report.
