Error description
ASRA due to WSA being zeros when EC LINKING to V5 program from calling program that calls older COBOL program. Additional symptoms: DFHSR0001An abend (code 0C4/AKEA) has occurred at the beginning of a COBOL V5 application, trying to store at location 00000010. R12 points to the CAA, offset x'1F4' is field CAACRENT or CRENT is zeros.
Local fix
Problem occurs when older COBOL program is statically linked in and the older program contains an old COPY of CEEBETBL. Refreshing CEEBETBL with latest version from SCEELKED via REPLACE CEEBETBL will bypass the problem.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5 users compiling and * * running programs that are linked with an old * * version of LE CEEBETBL CSECT. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An S0C4 ABEND may occur due to a NULL * * WORKING-STORAGE address returned by the * * COBOL run-time. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The Enterprise COBOL V5 compiler generates program objects, and at execution time the COBOL run-time obtains the size of the WORKING-STORAGE section from the loader information table IEWBLIT, accessible via the LE CEEBETBL CSECT. The COBOL run- time is unaware of prior versions of CEEBETBL CSECT, resulting in a failure in obtaining a WORKING-STORAGE section for the program.
Problem conclusion
Apply provided service. The runtime was changed to check for the size and number of entries of the CEEBETBL table before accessing IEWBLIT.
