PI49470: ABEND IN DYNAMIC ARRAY SUPPORT OR HEAP MEMORY SUPPORT IF A DYNAMIC ARRAY EXISTS THAT HAS MANY RECORDS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An abend can occur in either the dynamic array support or the
  heap memory support, if a dynamic array exists that has many
  records. This is caused by the fullword alignment of the dynamic
  array records. If the record length needs 1, 2 or 3 bytes to
  align to a fullword boundary, then the calculation during a
  garbage collection will be wrong by the number of alignment
  bytes times the number of dynamic array records. The calculation
  will get too few bytes and can eventually cause an 0C4 abend in
  heap memory management.
