Temporary storage queue (TSQ) error messages

These error messages are prefaced by CIA013xx. You can dump the error log to determine the failed program name, transaction, TSQ name and CICS® response codes among other pertinent information. Use this information to assist in problem diagnosis.

Currently CICS Service Flow Runtime uses temporary storage queues (TSQs) for Link3270 server adapter processing only. Additionally, TSQs are only in use when processing adapter services of the single connector nonpersistent type. Any TSQ error messages are reported in modules, DFHMALTS, DFHMALSC and DFHMALFD.

If the error occurred in a Link3270 navigator, you can use the CICS transaction ID, field Tranid:, found in the error log dump to determine the program name of the generated Link3270 navigator that called the system module, DFHMALTS, reporting the problem if necessary.

TSQs are used to store, retrieve and delete CICS SFR Link3270 facility business state information when compensation is not required. These TSQs contain two items:
  • Item +1 contains the Link3270 facility business state information used in Link3270 server adapter processing.
  • Item +2 contains any Link3270 facility business state text information used in Link3270 server adapter processing as the result of a BMS SEND TEXT command or SEND command containing textual information.
The 16 byte TSQ QNAME format is:
'DFHMA' + 8 byte bridge facility token + 3 byte x 'FFFFFF'
