IDMS: ADS/Alive not working after upgrade from pre-18.0

Products

• IDMS - ADS

Issue/Introduction

Unexpected behavior in ADS/Alive after upgrading to r18.0, including but not limited to:

* Needing to press PF3 twice each time to skip through the dialog code
* After a dialog aborts, the user is taken all the way out to ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:

Environment

Release: All supported releases
Component: IDMS ADS/Alive

Cause

Prior to r18.0, it was necessary to implement the following user exit definition in RHDCUXIT for exit 333:-

#DEFXIT MODE=SYSTEM,CALL=DC,EP=USGX333E,AMODE=ANY  333

From r18.0 and onwards, this is no longer necessary. The functionality provided by the exit is implemented as an integral part of the IDMS ADS/Alive component product.

If the #DEFXIT specification is installed in RHDCUXIT, unpredictable results can be expected.

Resolution

Remove the #DEFXIT entry for exit 333 from RHDCUXIT.
