PK12822: HASH CHECK GETS ABEND0C4 IN FABPHEXM UNDER HPIC PROCESS WHEN THE NUMBER OF DATA BASE DATA SETS EXCEEDS 408.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The HASH Checking runs in HP Image Copy and the number of data
  base data sets is greater than 408 - thus, HD Pointer Checker
  fails with a S0C4 abend in FABPHEXM.

  ****************************************************************
  HPIC V3R2 terminates with ABEND S0C4 ( ABEND0C4 ) in the module
  FABPHEXM, when the number of processed database data set exceeds
  408 and the Hash Check is requested.
  Because the field length of HPIC control block that is pass to
  HPPC is defined as an half word, and it overflows when the
  number of processed DBDS is more than 408.
  
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+
  |APAR PK12821 is required to be applied to IMS High Performance|
  |Pointer Checker for z/OS Version 2 Release 1 ( FMID=HPC2210 ).|
  +--------------------------------------------------------------+
  

Problem conclusion

• HPIC with Hash Check supports maximum 999 of processed DBDS.
  Supported maximum number of task in parallel is 254, when the
  HASH check is not requested.
  Supported maximum number of task in parallel is 99, when the
  HASH check is requested.
  
  The module FABJMAIN has been modified to set 1 entry length of
  HPIC control block into the field.
  
  The module FABJINT1 has been modified to set 1 entry length of
  HPIC control block into the field.
  
  The macro FABJDMPN has been modified to pass 1 entry length of
  HPIC control block into the field.
  
  The macro FABUITCT has been modified to define 1 entry length of
  HPIC control block into the field.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
    FABJCMDB  FABJDCTL  FABJDEMP  FABJDMP7  FABJDMP8  FABJDMP9
    FABJDOPN  FABJDPS7  FABJDPS8  FABJDPS9  FABJDPUT  FABJDREQ
