PI90920: DATALOCATION ATTRIBUTE ON PROGRAMS CHANGES AFTER RUNNING DFHCSDUP.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:Ø
  Upgrading to CICS 5.4 and when I run DFHCSDUP, some of my
  programs are having their datalocation attribute changed. In
  CICS 5.4, the default for datalocation is any.
  
  The problem stems from if a program defined previously had
  taken the default, the part of the CSD record which dealt with
  datalocation would be x'00'. When this record was then read off
  the CSD, the default value would be applied and so it would
  have had a datalocation of below. Now at 5.4, these records are
  taking the new default of any.

  ****************************************************************
  Several default values have been changed in CICS TS 5.4 and
  because of some CSD records that were written many years ago
  when the default value was not saved to the CSD, these records
  now pick up the new default value. This results in the
  program datalocation being changed from below to any and the
  transaction taskdataloc being changed from below to any. This
  results in applications failing with ASRA or AEZC abends.
  The same problem can also occur for transaction options, SPURGE
  and TPURGE.

Problem conclusion

• CICS CSD record processing has been changed to revert these
  default values to their original intended default values
  when the records are displayed or installed.
