APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ABEND0C4 in IRASRSRV HBB77F0 + x'E12' due to an invalid
  PBDE_dependent_pbde pointer.
  This can also result in contention for the
  SRM_SA_SAMPLING_LATCH while the abend is occurring.
  
  Apart from that, there is no adverse impact, processing
  continues.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND0C4 in IRASRSRV HBB77F0 + x'E12'   *
  *                      due to an invalid PBDE_dependent_pbde   *
  *                      pointer.  This can also result in       *
  *                      contention for the                      *

  *                      is occurring.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  OA66064 introduced an additional condition to the code in
  IRASASRV that checks if a dependent pbde can be accessed.  The
  parentheses around the additional condition were not correct
  and this caused erroneous access to an invalid
  PBDE_dependent_pbde pointer which resulted in an ABEND0C4 and
  contention for the SRM_SA_SAMPLING_LATCH.
  

Problem conclusion

• IRASRSRV has been updated to add the missing parentheses around
  the condition so that no erroneous access occurs if a
  PBDE_dependent_pbde pointer is invalid.
