PH57926: HPIC S0C4 ABEND IN FABJDPS5/FABJDOPN

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• HPIC is referencing a comment in SYSIN and regards it as an
  internal HPIC control flag, and it attempt to go through a path
  that should not be done in an IMS compatible JCL . As a result
  JOB terminates with ABEND S0C4.  Since comments should not be
  referenced, HPIC code needed to be modified.

  ****************************************************************
  The Image Copy function that is invoked by the compatible JCL of
  IMS Database Image Copy utility terminates with ABEND S0C4
  ( ABEND0C4 ) when character 'Y' is set in column 50 in SYSIN
  control statement.
  
  In this type of execution, positions 50 to 80 of the control
  statement are comments. But the Image Copy function reads
  them, and if character 'Y' is set in column 50, IMS HP Image
  Copy assumes it as the control data for Image Copy function. As
  the result, IMS HP Image Copy performs the unnecessary
  processing and tries to update the non-existent internal
  control block.
  

Problem conclusion

• By this APAR, the Image Copy function that is invoked by IMS
  compatible JCL reads up to column 49 in SYSIN card, and avoids
  unnecessary processing, even if comments are set after column
  50.
