OA48950: IEAVTABD STORAGE LED TO ABEND878 RC08 AFTER OA48457 15/10/26 PTF PEREMOVE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IEAVTABD (ABDUMP) manages the SYSABEND ,SYSUDUMP
  and SYSMDUMP data sets and invokes dump exits. The
  installation of the fix for OA48457 r7A0 PTF UA78635
  can lead to an abend878 rc08 (out of CSA or ECSA
  global storage) as control block FREEMAINs were
  inadvertently removed. If it is normal to have CSA/ECSA
  to SQA/ESQA conversion then a abend878 rc04 could also
  result. IEAVTABD obtains control blocks from subpool
  231 sp231 x'E7'. IEAVTABD at UA78635 obtains but does
  not free:
  1) +x'1A06' for x'A0' or 160 bytes with a "ABEP"
     eyecatcher at +0
  2) +x'2BDC' for x'6A8' or 1704 bytes which may hold
     SDWA data.

  * USERS AFFECTED: All HBB77A0 users                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND878 RC08 and ABEND878 RC04         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  After many days of execution, an installation's applications
  started experiencing ABEND878 RC08. IEAVTABD processing left
  about 1864 bytes of CSA storage allocated when abends occurred
  that potentially would result in ABDUMPs (SYSABEND, SYSUDUMP,
  SYSMDUMP), but the ABDUMP was not taken.
  

Problem conclusion

• IEAVTABD processing was corrected to also release storage when
  the ABDUMP would not be taken.
  APPLICABLE PE PTFS: UA78635 is actually now a TRSQ part of V2R2
  and cannot be refrenced individually, except in ESP accounts.
