    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Deleting a group immediately after it   *
    *                      terminates can cause a S0C4 in GZDRPT   *
    *                      when it returns from generating a       *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    The ESTAE within GZDRPT caused an abend message to the
    console and produced an SVC dump but did not attempt to retry.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Save the address of the next group (if any) to be processed.
    The ESTAE routine was then set to perform a retry.  The retry
    check if there is another report to generate and if so,
    continued.  If there is no next group, exit the program.
