Error description
ABENDS0C4 at x'380' into BTSDBS00 running BTS. This ABEND occurs even after previous PRF S0C4 BTS related APAR PI37125 is on. We found APAR PI37125 only deals with such ABENDS in BATCH jobs, whereas this issue is related to an S0C4 when BTS is called from the TSO region.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM IMS Program Restart Facility for * * z/OS Version 2 Release 2 (FMID=H23D220) * * users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PRF causes an S0C4 abend in IMS Batch * * Terminal Simulator module BTSPC000 * * when called from the TSO region. * * because PRF does not propagate the BTS * * ECB used by BTS when it attaches the * * IMS Region Controller DFSRRC00. This * * issue is fixed by the PTF's UI25753 * * & UI26613, but we found that the same * * issue occurs when BTS called from * * TSO region. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF that corrects this APAR. * **************************************************************** PRF now saves the BTS ECB on entry to IRTUPX00, the PRF hook in the IMS Region Controller. PRF passes the ECB to the BTS application BTSPC000 when it is attached to by IRTRCC00.
Problem conclusion
The abend S0C4 no longer occurs because BTSPC000 receives the correct ECB address.
