  ABEND0C7 occurs in CSECT FABPUADR at offset X'85E' when HD
  Pointer Checker or Disk Address Analyzer runs for VSAM database
  data sets that Extent Constraint Removal is set to YES and the
  number of extents exceeds 255.
  

Problem conclusion

• HPPC has been modified to fix the error.
  
  After applying this PTF and when the num of VSAM data set
  extents exceeds 254, HD Pointer Checker sets X'FF' to the
  associated field HIEXTENT or HXOXTNTS in the HISTORY record.
  Additionally, the number of the extents is set to the following
  associated new field of the HISTORY record:
  - HIEXTNO
    The value is set when the number of extents in a VSAM database
    data set except for a HISAM or secondary index overflow data
    set exceeds 254.
  - HXOEXTNO
    The value is set when the number of extents in a HISAM or
    secondary index overflow data set exceeds 254.
