PH71067: CEE3207S THE SYSTEM DETECTED A DATA EXCEPTION (SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C7) IN EKURIPUB

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The customer is reporting an error in the EKURIPUB program of
  the EK procedure, which occurred after optimization with ABO.
  
  The EKURIPUB program that fails is therefore being invoked by
  operations executed under CICS.
  CEE3207S The system detected a data exception (System Completion
  Code=0C7).
  
          From compile unit EKURIPUB at entry point EKURIPUB at
  compile unit offs et +0005E85C at address
          3355E8EC.
  Program affected: EKURIPUB.
  
  The customer recompiled an existing COBOL V4.2 load module using
  ABO.
  The original V4.2 executable never abended with an S0C7.
  After ABO optimization, the new ABO generated module abends with
  S0C7 during execution.
  No source code changes were made, only an ABO optimization
  pass.
  
  Based on the customer's report and dump evidence:
  The abend occurs every time the ABO optimized module runs the
  failing transaction path.
  It does not occur randomly.
  It is directly tied to execution of the COMPUTE statement
  involved.
