Error description
When a CLOSE is issued for a file that has reached end of volume, a s0c4 in QX11 offset x'32' may occur instead of the expected sB37 or sD37 abend. An unexpected save area was passed into the DCB exit routine (QX11), resulting in the s0c4 exception when using registers from this unexpected save area.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 5 and later * * releases writing to a QSAM file with more * * records than the file can handle and * * closing the file afterwards. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The COBOL program may terminate with * * an 0C4 abend in the COBOL Runtime * * program QX11 (module name IGZXLPKD) * * rather than a SD37/SB37 abend * * indicating that the file system is * * out of space. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install the provided PTF. * **************************************************************** When more than the maximum number of records that a QSAM file can hole are written to that QSAM file, the COBOL Runtime issues a QSAM CLOSE statement and upon return of the QSAM CLOSE, the NAB/DSA is not setup correctly in the COBOL Runtime causing a possible 0C4 abend.

Problem conclusion
The COBOL Runtime has been fixed to setup the correct NAB/DSA upon return from the QSAM CLOSE statement so that processing can proceed as expected.
