Error description
BATCHREP to small output file brings down CMAS region after system abend code 315. CICS is unable to recover from this abend code and terminates with DFHSR0606 message. I was running a batchrep report but the output to a DSN PDSE was so large that it ran out of space. This caused an AKEB abend that brought the entire CMAS region down. . Error messages received were: IEC032I E37-04,IGC0005E,CPSMCMAS,SYS00013,363B IEC911I 315-00,CPSMCMAS,SYS00013,0000000C,1C0B52D4 +DFHSR0606 M04CLM01 Abend (code 315/AKEB) has been detected. . This APAR is raised to request that z/OS system abend code 315 is added to the CICS SRT and allow CICS to recover from abend 315.
Local fix
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGMCP_5.1.0/com.ibm .cics.ts.doc/eyua7/topics/eyua7a9.html 'If a partitioned data set is used as the output data set, you must ensure that the data set has enough space to handle the output. A full partitioned data set without sufficient directory space may cause multiple abends resulting in the termination of the CMAS. To avoid multiple abends during CICS recovery, direct output to a sequential data set. If required, you can then copy the sequential data set output to a partitioned data set.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CICS terminates following a 315 abend. * **************************************************************** A user was running a CPSM batchrep report but failed to make the output PDSE dataset large enough. It ran out of space resulting in abend code 315 during the processing of an SVC 21 instruction. As CICS does not have system recovery code to handle 315 abend codes, and one was not coded in the SRT itself, the region terminated with an AKEB abend. KEYWORDS: CMAS abend315 315x abendakeb system svc21
Problem conclusion
DFHSRT has been changed to handle 315 abend codes and prevent the region from terminating if they occur. The following doc change will be made to the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.1 Resource Definition Guide (SC34-2868-00), chapter 40, page 507, for DFHSRT TYPE= SYSTEM/USER: The table under Note 1, listing the abend codes which CICS intercepts and attempts recovery for, will be amended to include codes 16E and 315. . The following doc change will be made to the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.2 Resource Definition Guide (SC34-7290-00), chapter 40, page 519, for DFHSRT TYPE= SYSTEM/USER: The table under Note 1, listing the abend codes which CICS intercepts and attempts recovery for, will be amended to include codes 16E and 315. . The following doc change will be made to the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V5.3 Resource Definition Guide (SC34-7425-00), chapter 40, page 520, for DFHSRT TYPE= SYSTEM/USER: The table under Note 1, listing the abend codes which CICS intercepts and attempts recovery for, will be amended to include codes 16E and 315.
