Error description
The OTMA User data section of IMS log records is incorrectly interpreted as an IMS Connect HWSOMUSR structure when the environment is not IMS Connect. This results in IMS PI Global fields that are derived from this section being invalid, or may result in an ABENDS0C4 in trying to address data beyond the end of the record. This abend occurs when using the Find command on the ALZPRBRF log browse panel. The ABEND0C4 is in the Knowledge Module called from ALZBRAPI + 34F2. In this case the Knowledge Module was ALZBRFMT (ALZ35C) and was trying to address Global fields past the end of the current record, but may not abend in other cases where the address is valid as the choice of KM and/or record is variable.
