KEYWORDS:	RELEASE 18 COBOL II MVS SVC SCREENING T002 

DESCRIPTION:	CA IDMS RELEASE 18 CONSIDERATIONS

1.	(a) If COBOL II or COBOL for MVS programs are executed using 
	VG-IDMS Gateway (CAF, TCP/IP or MQSeries) then SVC Screening
	for SVC 2 should be omitted to avoid T002 abend.

	(b) V2R7.4 V70201 (and later) users may define keyword 
	SVC2-SCREENING=Y 
	in the Options Table (IDD module XDB2-OPTIONS-TABLE v sysver)
	to avoid SVC 2 screening and T002.

	(c) If V2R7.3 V50201 (or earlier) is used or the default
	SVC2-SCREENING=N 
	is defined in the Options Table for V2R7.4 V70201 (and later) 
	SVC 2 screening should be disabled in startúp JCL as follows: 
	//SYSIDMS DD *
	DISABLE_SVC_SCREEN=2

2.	Apply PTF VI904.126 (for V90401) or VI702.126 (for V70201) to
	allow syntax 
	IDMS_RELEASE=1800
	in the Options Table.
