======================================================================
Closed Issues in 5.0.0_hotfix09 (This Release)

CR 1-7GF2L0
CICS cancel logic has been enhanced to handle the situation where an HCUS cancel operation is scheduled against a session which has failed and its CICS transaction has terminated without driving cleanup, resulting in various types of abends and failures.  

CR 1-915O9U
If a MAP table field is defined internally as packed len=8 decimal=2 and the external syntax is binary len=8 decimal=2 then a replace of the MAP table fails. This has been fixed.

CR 1-91HUS1
Recommended workaround to address IBM APAR PK18818: LEBE NOT GETTING FREED BELOW THE LINE BTL IN PIPI ENV CAUSING 878 ABEND.

CR 1-933JAX
Insufficient memory was available to run a DOB to DOB transaction. This has been fixed.

CR 1-96J79Y

CR 1-9F9LD9
If the row length exceeds 3888 in a SES table a S0C6 abend occurs when an attempt is made to INSERT a row to the table. This has been fixed.

CR 1-9GRJTB
Calls to the EMS method tibemsQueueSession_CreateReceiver via the S6BFUNCTION shareable tool failed. This has been fixed.

CR 1-9Y8QFV
In an EXP table, for fields of syntax M whose external length is even, it is possible to assign a value that is too large for the field to hold. Also, when an INSERT to an EXP table is performed the left-most character(s) of the field are dropped, giving a corrupted value in the output file. These have been fixed.

CR 1-9YITB5
The field @SESSION.TERMINAL is not populated when a user logs on. This has been fixed.

CR 1-9Z66PZ
Inserting a negative value to a field of syntax N when a record is written to an EXP table does not always initialize the sign nybble. This has been fixed.

CR 1-9ZKJJ6
Corrects the handling of stack overflow when using a shareable tool or an external routine.

CR 1-A37AIP
Attempting to use XSYN of M with an IMP results in an error like 'Error in record 1, columns 1-8'. This has been fixed.

CR 1-A3RKLZ
When an ODBC gateway is connected to a z/OS DOB, an attempt to access a table for which ORDERING has been specified is rejected. This has been fixed.
