APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Memory leak in the PX ABAP stage that
  is the same as ecase 106036

  extended attribute of Unicode set. Removing the

  not too good a solution.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem manifests itself with columns with the
  
  extended attribute of Unicode set. Removing the
  Unicode attribute resolves the problem but this is
  not too good a solution.
  

Problem conclusion

• Issue caused by a memory leak with the implementation of
  Extended Unicode columns. The problem is in the DSCapi layer
  with the extended attrinbute of unicode.
  
  When the osh process grows to over 1.5GB (IS
  8.0.1), then the D/S job crashes.
  Without the memory leak, the job consumes only
  MB's of memory.
  

Temporary fix
