I'm 90% sure of the answer but would like confirmation. We have a JES2
automatic command that's executes once an hour (T=3600) with no specific start
time. Before the Sunday Daylight Saving Time switch, this command was executing
at 45 minutes past the hour. Immediately after the time switch,
CICS stopped initializing working storage to low values a couple of releases
ago. Most shops fixed this by 1) enforcing good application programming
practices or 2) creating a region specific CEEROPT module to force all working
storage to low values. You probably had a CEEROPT in your TS 4.2
