Allow DFHRPL libraries to be placed in EAS space of EAV volumes

From IBM CICS TS 5.1 INFOCENTER:

‘Do not place any CICS DFHRPL libraries, such as SDFHLOAD, in the extended addressing space (EAS) of an extended address volume (EAV) DASD volume. If DFHLDSVC attempts to access any DFHRPL data sets from the EAS, an IEC142I 113-44 message is issued and the request fails.'


Please allow DFHRPL libraries to be placed in the EAS space of EAV volumes. This wll give us the flexibility to use these volumes where we wish. We have EAV volumes now but cannot use them fo CICS DFHRPL load libraries.

    This RFE is satisfied by CICS TS 5.3 which is generally available from December 11th 2015.

    With CICS TS 5.3 you can place CICS DFHRPL libraries, such as SDFHLOAD, and dynamic program LIBRARY concatenations in the EAS of an EAV DASD volume.
