Error description
Customers sequential terminals are defined appropriately to support mixed case input data. All sequential terminals appear to work correcty with lower case transaction ids as input except for one particular sequential terminal. This one sequential terminal causes upper case translation to incorrectly occur, resulting in message DFHAC2001 to be produced. The DFHAC2001 message cleary shows the tranid as upper case. The message is correctly produced as the tranid does not exist as upper case. The data within the input dataset is correct and has proven to work with all other sequential terminals. Customer also tried changing the sequence of order of the definition defining the sequential terminal within the DFHTCT and the problem continues to follow the specific terminal. The problem arises at label TCTINTD1 within DFHTCP. A TRT (translate and test) instruction causes register 2 to be changed then later register 2 is used as a pointer to the TCTTE, causing bad decisions to then be made based on random data being pointed to. .

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A sequential terminal transaction id * * is unexpectedly translated to upper * * case. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A sequential terminal transaction id is incorrectly translated to upper case because the TCTTE base register address was corrupted whilst being processed.
Problem conclusion
DFHTCTI (DFHTCP) has been changed so that the TCTTE base register is not corrupted.
