Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In either ISPF or if you use IPCS via batch, the VERBX DFHPD750
  'PG=3' command results in a Abend SA78-X'10'.
  The dump shows:  module BLSRVEC3 offset X'191D6': Abend
  SA78-X'10'.
  
  This is due to CICS module DFHPGDUF doing a "double FREEMAIN" of
  its EP_LIST_TOKEN.

  or " IPCS VERBX DFHPD750 'PG' "
  and sees an ABENDA78 - 10 abend due to the dump
