PH46365: ABENDU0476 DFSPCRP0 RUNNING A PRF BMP JOB WITH A PL/I PROGRAM USING A PSB WHICH SPECIFIED LANG=PL/I

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An ABEND such as U0476 may occur when executing a BMP job with
  a PL/I program using a PSB with LANG=PL/I specified under PRF.
  This problem occurs when using the Bypass checkpoint or
  checkpoint insertion function.
  
  When using these functions, the PRF gets the IOPCB address from
  the DIRCA area, but does not get the correct IOPCB address under
  the above conditions. As a result, PRF breaks the IOPCB area in
  ECLIPARM by using the wrong IOPCB address, causing this ABEND.
