  ****************************************************************
  01. An earlier exception, such as IGZ0014W from IGZEOPT that is
      recovered, might be incorrectly reported as the point of
      failure.
  02. OPT(FULL) removes unreferenced data items but they are still
      found in the SYSDEBUG attribute table, and when processed
      attempt to consume unavailable storage.
  03. Source line grid margin character '!' instead of expected
      '|'.
  04. CICS TS 4.2 changed an array, but the FA panel script was
      not updated, so it is getting subpool information from
      the wrong place.
  05. The Fault Analyzer panel is sorting the information that
      it is displaying incorrectly, leading to data being
      displayed in the wrong place.
  06. Intermittent abend S0C4 in IDIXDCAP after Fault Analyzer has
      been called to capture an abend.
  07. An automatic update of the Fault Analyzer IDIVSENU VSAM
      message and abend code explanation repository, during
      start-up of the IDIS subsystem, caused the KSDS index to
      become corrupted due to using POINT with only a partial key
      prior to using PUT when inserting records.
  08. The Fault Analyzer code which captures CICS 4.2 trace
      entries is calculating the start/size/end of the trace
      capture incorrectly.
  09. FA is analyzing a CICS SDUMP which has severely corrupted
      LG Domain control blocks. The analysis code abends because
      it doesn't handle the corrupted control block chains.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. Tests for earlier abends updated.
  02. Unreferenced data items in the SYSDEBUG attribute table are
      now ignored.
  03. IDILANGX accepts '!' as grid right margin character.
  04. FA script panels for the SM domain have been updated to
      use the new format array whan processing 4.2 SDUMPS.
  05. The panel sort mechanism has been fixed.
  06. The ESTAEX regester restore for R9 has been corrected.
  07. The full key is now being used with POINT prior to PUT.
  08. Fault Analyzer has been changed to calculate the
      start/size/end of the captured trace entries correctly,
      as happened with previous CICS versions.
  09. IDIECLG PP_LG_STREAM_SUMM has been changed to terminate
      analysis of the LG control block chain if it is corrupted.
