FA - Add BEAR display for CICS Transaction Dump Analysis

CICS transaction abend analysis do not show the BEAR (Breaking Event Address Register).

The BEAR is available in many of the CICS (i.e. DFHTACB, KERRD) and z/OS (SDWA, ESPIE, RTM) diagnostic control blocks.

I am told that the BEAR is displayed for System Dumps.

Note: In quick look at dump analysis for batch jobs I cannot see the BEAR. Wild branches occur in batch (&TSO). So it would be beneficial to display the information as well (near where the PSW-related information is show).

    Support has been delivered with UI63214. The Bear value is currently formatted via the TACB display. From the Primary Menu select CICS Information then CICS Control Blocks. Do a FIND for TACB, place the cursor on the field and hit enter. The Breaking Event Address is formatted. Development recognises that the BEAR value needs to formatted in the Event list and this support will be introduced with a future PTF.

    I saw the comment about support provided in UI63214. I have had this PTF applied and created a ASRA /S0C1 dump via CFA/IVP. When running Fault Analyzer in ISPF, I cannot see where the BEAR is formatted. I was expecting to see the BEAR in displays that formatted the PSW.
