PK78617: ZOSBATCH PROGRAM ABENDS WITH CODE 878 FOR STORAGE FAILURE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• EGL ZOSBATCH main program calls an EGL called program repeatedly
  . After many calls there is a memory
  allocation failure reported in module ELAMEM.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If the user had set the initIORecordOnCall and
  initNonIODataOnCall build descriptor options to yes, this
  would cause the re-initialization of the memory area on each
  invocation of the called program. This caused the heap
  acquire of the 4 basic fields to be done repetitively,
  without reusing the memory slot for the acquire. This in
  turn caused the heap memory manager to obtain more and more
  memory, until the abend occurred. A heap drop is now done
  prior to the acquire.
  

Problem conclusion

• Software fixed. Fixtest EGLFixtest200901161217 is available
  on the portal.
  

Temporary fix
