Changes to RESP2 values

There are some new RESP2 values for:

These changes are described below.

File control RESP2 values

There are changes to the way RESP2 values are handled by CICS® file control for remote files. In earlier releases, RESP2 values are not returned to the application program issuing the request in the AOR. Changes to file control mean that RESP2 values are now always returned by CICS TS Version 2 regions to application programs, for both local and remote files.

If the remote region is running under an earlier release of CICS, only a subset of the RESP2 values are returned.

Program control RESP2 values

There are some new RESP2 values to qualify the INVREQ response to EXEC CICS LINK commandsand to qualify the PGMIDERR response to the EXEC CICS LOAD and RELEASE commands.

The new INVREQ RESP2 values are:

43
A LINK has been attempted to a hot-pooled Java™ program object while there is already a hot-pooled program on the link stack.
44
A LINK has been attempted to a Java program but the JVM pool is disabled.
45
A LINK has been attempted to a JVM program, but the JVM profile cannot be found.
46
A LINK has been attempted to a JVM program, but the JVM profile is not valid.
47
A LINK has been attempted to a JVM program, but the system properties file cannot be found.
48
A LINK has been attempted to a JVM program, but the user class cannot be found.
49
The shared class cache is STOPPED and autostart is disabled, so a Java program requesting use of the shared class cache cannot be executed.

The RESP2 value 41 that qualified the INVREQ response to EXEC CICS LINK requests is removed, because it is now possible to link to more than one JVM program in the same CICS task:

41
A LINK has been attempted to a JVM program but there is already a JVM program on the link stack (only one JVM program is allowed on the program stack).

The new PGMIDERR RESP2 value is:

42
An attempt has been made to LOAD or RELEASE a JVM program. This is not allowed, because Java byte codes programs are not managed by the CICS loader domain.
