DFH5281 S data loaded from UNLOCK is invalid when running DFHCSDUP

Question & Answer


Question

Why is my DFHCSDUP job is receiving messages DFH5281 and DFH5103 while trying to unlock groups? This started to occur after upgrading our CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) region from version 5.2 to 5.3? This program has always worked in prior releases.

Following are the errors I receive while trying to unlock Groups:

DFH5281 S DATA LOADED FROM LIBRARY MEMBER UNLOCK IS INVALID
DFH5103 I ERROR(S) OCCURRED WHILE PROCESSING UPGRADE COMMAND

Answer

A change was added to the UPGRADE function in CICS TS V5.3 to add a header to help identify which PTF changed the CSD.

Adding the following new declare to the DFHCSDUP program should resolve the load check problem so you no longer receive messages DFH5281 and DFH5103:

 UNLOCK    CSECT
                   DC    AL2(UNLOCKA-*)
 UNLOCKA  DC    0H
                   DC    X'FFFFFFFF'
                   DC    C'UNLOCK GROUP(group)'
                   DC    AL4(-1)
                   DC    AL4(-1)
                   END
