APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• MSGIEA304W against load module IEAVNP02 was followed by
  WAIT064-009 during IPL.
  The collected stand-alone dump showed that the WAIT state was
  the result of the S0C6 ABEND, triggered by not retaining
  important values before and after the FREEMAIN processing in
  load module IOSVNPTH.
  
  ANALYSIS:
  In the stand-alone dump, the very last entries in the system
  trace may look as follows (only significant data):

  Obviously, the value of X'0000F507' as the assumed address of
  the ABEND was the result of using the preceding value of
  X'0000F503' (Freemain with BRANCH=GLOBAL in Subpool 245 or
  X'F5') in the FREEMAIN entries as the address for the failed
  branch instruction.
  .
  ANALYSIS part II:
  The device number that was non-responsive to z/OS can be
  determined from the stand-alone dump.
  Obtain a stand-alone dump of the system.
  analyze the SYSTEM TRACE.
  search for a "Time-gap" message.
  shortly after the time gap message,
  Search for a XSCH record
  followed by a CSCH record.
  the device number undergoing the Cancel / Clear is the not
  responsive device.
  In this example device 0123 is the not responsive device.

Local fix

• BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION:
  None.
  In the case of a temporary device issue,
  a re-IPL might be successful,
  however a re-IPL is not likely to be productive.
  Obtain a stand-alone dump of the system for analysis.
  This APAR is HIPER.
  The appropriate PTF should be applied immediately
  
  
  RECOVERY ACTION:
  Apply the appropriate PTF
  Re-IPL the system

  ****************************************************************
  Customers with OA64714 installed may encounter a WAITSTATE 064
  with REASON CODE 009. The WAITSTATE is the result of not
  saving the contents of a register prior to issuing a FREEMAIN
  and restoring the contents of the register after the FREEMAIN
  is issued.
  

Problem conclusion

• The register in question is saved prior to issuing the FREEMAIN
  and then restored after the FREEMAIN has completed.
