Modify the content and increase the size of CICS trace gathered by Fault Analyzer

When Fault Analyzer gathers trace entries for a CICS abending task a storage area is used to copy the trace entries in to. The size of this storage area and hence the number of trace entries copied is limited to 256K, moreover copied trace entries seems to start from the application abend to the end of the task. In this way the trace entries just shows the Language Environment diagnostic information (written to a transient data queue named CESE) also if TERMTHDACT is set to QUIET.
The Customer requirement is to increase the size of gathered trace (four of five times) and to copy the trace entries from the abending point backward to the beginning of the task.
This will really allow to the Customer to see application trace

    The amount of CICS trace gathered during Fault Analyzer analysis has been changed/increased as follows (extract from FA users guide):

    When Fault Analyzer gathers the trace entries for the abending task, a storage area
    is used to copy the trace entries into. The size of this storage area, and hence the
    number of trace entries copied, is determined as follows:

    - For CICS TS 5.1 and above, the CICS system initialization parameter, TRTRANSZ is used.

    - For earlier CICS releases, minimum of 64K is used, unless the CICS system
    initialization parameter, TRTRANSZ, specifies a value higher than 64K, in which
    case that value is used, up to a maximum of 256K.
