    ****************************************************************
    01. When completing an interactive reanalysis of an MVS SVC or
        SYSMDUMP, the write minidump process might issue IDI0095W
        from IDIDODSN:360.
    02. IBM Fault Analyzer CICS fast duplicate processing might
        record a vendor altered start time rather than the
        wall-clock time, even when the UseIDISTime option is set.
    03. Listing exit fails to process a SYSDEBUG, then attempts to
        process it as a compiler listing.
    04. When a point-and-shoot field, such as the "Abend" column
        field, is scrolled to logically overlap with the line
        command field, then the point-and-shoot field is incorrectly
        processed instead of the line command.
    05. ODO recalibration includes redefinitions which causes
        data item length to be added again.
    06. The specific Language Environment heap analysis errors
        found in this case had not been made eligible for
        identification in the report Synopsis.
    07. The value of TRTRANSZ was being incorrectly determined and
        hence a default value of 64K was always being used by Fault
        Analyzer.
    08. Some values are being obtained from the wrong place.
        Some values are correct but are displayed in hex, while
        the CICS VerbExit displays them in decimal.
    09. The fault entry lock flag was being managed, both in the
        fault entry member, and in the history file cache, causing
        incorrect updates.
    10. FA code was not allowing for an LE CIB next pointer to be
        pointing to itself.  Hence, FA went into a loop which
        eventually exhaused all storage and gave a IDI0005S message.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. The logic has been changed to handle the allocation
        condition.
    02. Code updated to accommodate date/time alteration test
        products in the CICS fast duplicate recording process.
    03. Listing exit now correctly processes SYSDEBUG files.
    04. An error determining the line offset in displays with a
        non-scrollable section on the left has been fixed.
    05. Only the original definition is inlcuded in recalibration
        of ODO tables.
    06. All Language Environment heap analysis errors are now
        being identified in the Synopsis with a reference to
        detailed information about the errors in the Language
        Environment heap analysis section of the report.
    07. The correct value of TRTRANSZ is now determined and used
        accordingly.
    08. Fault Analyzer has been changed to display the correct
        values, and to display both hex and decimal values where
        appropriate.
    09. The fault entry lock flag is now only being managed in the
        history file cache.
    10. Loop detection code added.
