Error description

• Customer experienced WAIT064 RC09 during IPL.  MSGIEA304W noted
  RIM module IEAVNP09:
  
  IEA304W SYSTEM WAIT STATE CODE 80009064 DURING IEAVNP09
  INITIALIZATION.
  
  Diagnosis showed that an ABEND0C1 had been suffered in
  IEAVNP09+59A (UA97369) due to a BASR 14,15 issued with an
  invalid target address of 0 in register 15.
  
  When IEAVNP09 suffered the ABEND0C1, it was in the process of
  issuing MSGIEA400I as a result of detecting an invalid
  specification for parameter NSYSLX in parmlib member IEASYSxx:
  
  IEA400I NSYSLX VALUE, x, NOT VALID. DEFAULT OF (165,165) USED.
  
  The WAIT064 can be avoided by correcting the NSYSLX to have a
  valid specification per the documentation in the z/OS
  Initialization and Tuning Reference.
  
  
  VERIFICATION STEPS:
  
  1) You see message:
  
     IEA304W SYSTEM WAIT STATE CODE 80009064 DURING IEAVNP09
     INITIALIZATION.
  
  2) You determine an invalid specification for NSYSLX in an
     IEASYSxx parmlib member.  Per the z/OS Initialization and
     Tuning Reference:
  
       NSYSLX={nn | (nn,mm)}  where Value Range: 10-512 for nn,
                                                 40-8192 for mm
  PE information:
  
  Users Affected:  Customers running with the following
  environment:
  - HBB7790 PTF for OA55240 (UA96468)
  - HBB77A0 PTF for OA54807 (UA96477)
  - HBB77B0 PTF for OA55233 (UA96475)
  - AND specifying an invalid NSYSLX value in IEASYSxx
  
  User Impact:  Wait State WS064 WAIT064 RC09 during IPL
  in RIM IEAVNP09.
  
  This ONLY occurs when the NSYSLX value in IEASYSxx
  is invalid.  There is no problem if the NSYSLX value
  is valid or if one does not specify NSYSLX in IEASYSxx.
  
  User resolution:  Apply OA56640's PTFs as they are already
  available.
  

Local fix

• Correct specification for NSYSLX in parmlib member IEASYSxx.
  
  Per the z/OS Initialization and Tuning Reference:
  
  NSYSLX={nn | (nn,mm)}  where Value Range: 10-512 for nn,
                                            40-8192 for mm

  ****************************************************************
  For an invalid NSYSLX value in IEASYSxx, IEAVNP09 was unable
  to issue syntax error message MSGIEA400I due to a message
  control block that was not initialized.
  

Problem conclusion

• Corrected IEAVNP09 to initialize the message control block
  so that it can issue IEA400I for an invalid NSYSLX value
  in IEASYSxx.
