Error description

  • PSF runs out of storage and see storage fragmentation.   It
    has a repeating pattern of doing a GETMAIN for a  Length=4904
    X'1328' bytes with a later FREEMAIN for the same location of
    only  Length=4152 X'1038' bytes, leaving a fragment of x'2F0' or
    752 bytes each time.

    * PSF runs out of storage causing an ABEND024 RC0870. The      *
    * storage leak is caused by a GETMAIN of x'1328' bytes, but    *
    * the corresponding FREEMAIN is only x'1038' bytes. This       *
    * leaves a storage fragment of x'2F0' bytes each time this is  *
    * done eventually running PSF out of storage..                 *
