Closed as program error.
Error description
If in an EGL program the user creates (implicitly or explicitly) a dynamic array with the initial size of either 0 or 1 records, and then tries to use insertElement before ever using appendElement, an abend 0C4 can occur. Instead of the logic correctly inserting the record at the appropriate location, an abend 0C4 can occur. This is caused by the algorithm for obtaining new entry pointers in the dynamic array. This algorithm was different than the one used by appendElement and was flawed under this circumstance.
