OA25381: ABENDS0C1 RUNNING KOCARACF WHEN RACROUTE REQUEST=VERIFY RACF RC GREATER THAN 24

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Sample RKANSAMU(KOCARACF) has an error which results in an abend
  (probably S0C1) when RACF return code from RACROUTE VERIFY is
  higher than 24.  The problem is use of register 15 (RF) which
  contains the SAF RC, rather than register 5, which contains the
  RACF RC, to test for high RACF return codes.  The compare
  instruction at label VERCK08 should be 'C R5..' rather than
  'C RF..'.
  

Local fix

• Change the instruction below label VERCK08 from:
  
   C     RF,=X'00000024'  <----change
  
  to this:
  
   C     R5,=X'00000024'
  
  
  Then reassemble/link your security modules.

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  The KOCARACF sample exit uses an incorrect register to verify
  a RACROUTE return code.  If the return code was greater than
  X'24' the code branches to an unexpected location.
  

Problem conclusion

• The sample code was changed to correctly validate the return
  code, as follows:
  This instruction below label VERCK08
     C     RF,=X'00000024'
  was changed to this
     C     R5,=X'00000024'
