  *                          state in the DS Domain Task Summary *

  ****************************************************************
  01. If the MVS RB chain can not be traced because of a missing
      page in the minidump, the available list of events was not
      displayed.
  02. FA CICS SDUMP analysis is interpreting a CICS status byte
      incorrectly.
  03. The original cursor position is not saved prior to
      displaying the delete confirmation panel.
  04. The duplicate count is held in a signed halfword which is
      displayed as a negative value if more than 32,767 duplicates
      have occurred, or a decreasing value if more than 65,535
      duplicates have occurred.
  05. The missing minidump will cause a number of issues during
      the refresh, preventing it from properly completing. This
      error propagates, causing an error dialog to be created at
      each point of failure.
  06. The Fault Analyzer ISPF interface was invoked with a
      history file name set to a non-existing data set.
  07. Intermittent abend S0C4 in Fault Analyzer IDIDA MAPLMOD
      causing IDI0047S and an RFR dump to be created for recovery
      processing of the fault entry.
  08. Under some XCF recovery conditions, the IDIS subsystem might
      loop causing high CPU usage.
  09. This is a diagnostic message that was incorrectly left as a
      message to the user rather than being written to a trace
      data set.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01. Code updated to better handle the next RB not being
      available.
  02. IDIECDS has been changed to interpret the task status byte
      correctly.
  03. The cursor is now positioned correctly.
  04. The duplicate count field is treated as unsigned, which
      allows for up to 65,535 duplicates. Once this limit is
      reached, the count will remain unchanged at its maximum
      instead of wrapping.
  05. Additional error handling was included to consolidate and
      simplify the error reporting when a minidump is not
      available.
  06. A check has been added for the existance of the target
      history file to prevent the abend S282-20 from occurring.
  07. The MAPLMOD processing updated to correctly test the return
      from GETDSVOL processing.
  08. Code changed to handle the potential XCF recovery timing
      condition.
  09. The message is no longer displayed to the user and is only
      written to the trace data set.
