OA15041: MODULE COPIED OVER VIA CP -X FAILS TO EXECUTE WITH A U4094-C ABEND / CEE3531S MESSAGE, INCORRECT ADCON BUILT BY THE BINDER

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A small "hello world" program compiles and executes correctly
  under UNIX System services. When the executable is copied over
  to a PDS or a PDS/E, via the command:-
  
    cp -X hello.exe "//'MYHLQ.LOAD(hello)'"
  
  The resulting executable abends when attempted to be
  executed via JCL or TSO CALL with the following messages:-
  
  CEE3531S The entry point was not recognized by Language
  Environment.  The traceback information could not be determined.
  IEA995I SYMPTOM DUMP OUTPUT
    USER COMPLETION CODE=4094 REASON CODE=0000000C
  
  The failure occurs only at the z/OS 1.7 level & cp -X works
  correclty on earlier z/OS releases. The binder may have built
  an ADCON incorrectly causing load failure.
  
  To get around the problem, use the OGETX command, an example
  follows:-
  
  ogetx '/u/user/hello' 'YOURHLQ.LOAD(HELLO)'
  

Local fix

• To get around the problem, use the OGETX command to copy the
  executable from the HFS to a PDS/E. An example follows:-
  ogetx '/u/user/hello' 'YOURHLQ.LOAD(HELLO)'
  
  You can also completely eliminate the need to copy the
  executable over to a dataset by specifying the target for the
  exectuable to be a dataset on the -o option. For example
  c89 -o "//'some.pdse(member)'" mycode.c
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: anyone using the binder (or a program        *
  *                 which calls the binder) to copy              *
  *                 ZOSV1R7 format program objects.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When the binder is used to copy         *
  *                      ZOSV1R7 or later format program         *
  *                      objects, certain adcons may             *
  *                      have their contents changed             *
  *                      incorrectly.  The adcons which          *
  *                      might be wrong are those                *
  *                      containing expressions which            *
  *                      evaluate to nonrelocatable              *
  *                      values, such as DC A(B-A).              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A ZOSV1R7 or later format program object
  may not execute correctly after being
  copied by the binder.  The possible
  symptoms include message CEE3531S or
  an 0CX program check.  The cp
  utility is an example of a program
  which calls the binder to copy
  program objects.
  

Problem conclusion

• Add code in IEWBFVER to back out binder
  changes to cross-class adcons.
  This code was originally only on the rebind path
  in IEWBBUNB.
