Issue/Introduction

After upgrading our CICS TS region to 6.1 and reassembling various Ideal and IPC modules, we started receiving these AKEA abends when using Dataquery. Other CICS regions are working fine, and we can't see what is different here.

Environment

CICS TS 6.1

IPC 15.1

Cause

Here, the Dataquery options module (DQSYSTBL) was linked as 31-bit instead of 24-bit.

Resolution

A review of the SVC dump produced from the AKEA indicated that the DQSYSTBL module was loaded as 31-bit instead of 24-bit.

To correct this, rerun your DQOPTLST/DQSYSTBL Assemble and link using 24-bit mode. Here is the binder input from the 15.1 installation:

//LNKSTP.SYSIN DD *       
 ENTRY DQSYSTBL           
 MODE AMODE(24),RMODE(24) 
 NAME DQSYSTBL(R)         
/*

You can also confirm the wrong modes by doing an ISPF Browse on your MUF CUSLIB, which should look like this:

  Name     Prompt         Alias-of      Size       TTR      AC    AM     RM 
 DQSYSTBL                             00001138    00000F    00     24     24

Of course, you may see 31 and ANY for the last two columns if it was done incorrectly.

As always, please contact Broadcom support for Datacom if you have further questions.
