One further question:
Would use of IKJEFTSI/IKJEFTSR/IKJEFTST work here? I.e., provide an
isolated eenvironment for RACF while maintaining continuity within the I/O
routine without re-initializing its working storage on each call?

But if I TSOEXEC CALL the Cobol I/O routine, will it retain the context

We need to capture the date and time in a GLUE and need more precision than
the CICS variables give us.
Can we use the STCKCONV macro in a GLUE? Could it cause all of CICS to
enter a wait? Or is it essentially pure CPU?

with SMF. Scanning program sources for called programs is
unsatisfactory for us since the call could be dynamic (name of program
contained in a variable) or conditional on a particular set of
circumstances that never occurs in practice.

The (4,4) file is identical to the (4,3) file in all respects except for
the shareoptions. The error never occurs for the (4,3) file and occurs
intermittently for the (4,4) file. Can anyone suggest what the problem
might be?

the dump?

Please advise.

I suppose a final job-step to do the DEQ with COND=EVEN would not always do
the trick. As I recall there are some types of abends that flush the job
including steps with COND=EVEN, right?
