Error description
When the COBOL run-time tries to issue a message from an I/O error exit, and the LE MSGFILE() is not yet allocated, the dynamic allocation for the MSGFILE() fails because the TIOT (task I/O table) is already enqueued by the failing I/O operation, leading to a abend138 or abend05C. With MSGFILE() already allocated before the I/O error, the informational message IGZ0034W is issued prior to the terminating CEE3250C (for example): IGZ0034W The file with system-name {ddname} could not be extended. Secondary extents were not specified or were not available. The last WRITE was at offset {offset} program {program-name}. CEE3250C The system or user abend SD37 R=00000004 was issued. From compile unit {program-name} at entry point {entry-point} at compile unit offset {offset} at entry offset {offset} at address {address}. With MSGFILE not already allocated, attempting the IGZ0034W fails S138 RSN024C0406 or S05C RSN703. This is the COBOL v5+ run-time equivalent of legacy run-time PQ56167.
Local fix
Provide a DD for the LE MSGFILE(), typically SYSOUT.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise COBOL V5+ users running programs * * that use QSAM I/O and get an out-of-space * * error condition. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Runtime ABEND: When the QSAM File I/O * * ended with an out-of-space error * * condition (ABEND D37), if the MSGFILE * * DD is not already allocated, the * * IGZ0034W message is missing and LE * * ABEND while trying to dynamically * * allocate the MSGFILE. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** Check that MSGFILE DD is allocated prior to calling the LE message service to issue the IGZ0034 message.
Problem conclusion
The error handling logic in QSAM I/O has been corrected to check MSGFILE DD is allocated prior to issue of IGZ0034 message.
