Error description
After a group completes, zDMF triggers the report task to produce the completion report. If the group is deleted while this is in progress, a S0C4 abend in the report task can occur.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Deleting a group immediately after it * * terminates. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Deleting a group immediately after it * * terminates can cause a S0C4 in GZDRPT * * when it returns from generating a * * termination report for a group with * * large files such as a GDG with many * * generations and many volumes. * **************************************************************** * 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.
