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.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: PRF causes an S0C4 abend in IMS Batch   *

    *                      when called from the TSO region.        *
    *                      because PRF does not propagate the BTS  *

    *                      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.
