0409

Explanation

The external CICS interface module DFHXCPRH issued an MVS GETMAIN request for storage required for its SSI VERIFY request, but a nonzero return code was returned from MVS.

System action

Module DFHXCPRH issues an MVS abend with abend code 0409 which invokes its ESTAE routine to clear up its environment. A SYSMDUMP is taken before returning control to the application. An application using the EXCI CALL API receives RESPONSE(SYSTEM_ERROR) REASON(VERIFY_BLOCK_GM_ERROR) in its return area. The subreason1 field of the return area contains the R15 return code from MVS indicating why the GETMAIN failed. An application using the EXCI EXEC API receives RESP(LINKERR) RESP2(605).

User response

Use the MVS R15 return code obtained from the application or from the dump to determine why the MVS GETMAIN request failed. If the reason is insufficient storage, increase the region size of the batch application.

An attempt to format the SYSMDUMP produced with the CICS IPCS dump formatter does not produce any formatted output for the job because the error occurred too early in EXCI initialization for there to be any control blocks.
