PH70828: ABEND0C4 IN MODULE EYU0PSCC + X'30A'.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This was an abend0c4 (abends0c4 ) in module EYU0PSCC + x'30A'.
  
  A dump occurred with title:
  
  TITLE=EYU9XLRV Dump,..,..,CPUB,CMAS,PSLT,taskid,ASRA,EYU0PSCC
  
  From the dump, Kernel Error table summary showed:
  .. Err_Code  Module   Offset
  
  .. 0C4/AKEA  EYU9PS00 0002F502
  .. ---/ASRA  DFHSR1   000006F4
  
  (Where EYU9PS00 is the load module. The 0c4 occurred in a module
  
  within this, EYU0PSCC ).
  
  The abend occurred while in Access Register mode.
  This mode was set to be able to access a PSAD block within a
  data space (DATASPC1).
  An Access List Entry Token (ALET) is used to key to a data
  space.
  However the ALET value was not updated to reflect the correct
  data space (DATASPC1) containing the PSAD block to be
  accessed.
  The access attempt went to a data space (DATASPC2) whose
  addressing range did not contain the address used and this
  tripped the 0c4.
  
  In more detail:
  Both General purpose Register 8 and Access Register 8 are used
  to address the data space.
  GR8 is x00000000 00FFFF00 and AR8 is x01010081 (the ALET).
  
  To show the ALET values, and address range for the data spaces:
  
  IPCS VERBX eyu9dxxx 'RTA,TOP'  (where xxx is the CICS TS
  version, e.g. 610)

  Private 01010081 AA0001A0 DATASPC2 00001000 00100000 00000100
  
  The PSAD block was in DATASPC1, but the ALET was not
  x01010080 to be able to address it.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: While updating  CICS System             *
  *                      Definitions (CSYSDEF) using WUI, the    *
  *                      CMAS experienced an S0C4 program check  *
  *                      ABEND in the CPSM RTA long running task *
  *                      PSLT. The failure occurred in module    *
  *                      EYU0PSCC.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: The PTFs addressing this APAR should be      *
  *                 applied to all CPSM regions, and the regions *
  *                 should be restarted. The restart of CICS     *
  *                 regions can be performed in any order.       *
  ****************************************************************
  The program check occurred when CPSM RTA was processing a CICS
  system update and navigating internal control blocks in
  access register mode. Although the code correctly established
  addressability to the RTA CICS System Descriptor (PSRD), it
  failed when subsequently accessing the Active CICS System
  Descriptor (PSAD), which was located in a different RTA data
  space.
  This led to an invalid storage reference and a program check.
  

Problem conclusion

• The EYU0PSCC module has been updated to ensure that the access
  register is loaded with the correct data space ALET value when
  addressing the Active CICS System Descriptor (PSAD).
