Error description

• In DB2 Administration Tool an abend0c4 in ISPF occurs whenever
  a BROWSE is attempted on systems where ISPF is loaded at an
  address that begins with x'40'. Error message reports may
  appear similar to:
  .
  Module name  . . . : ISPTASK
  Entry point address: 40C9E308
  ... or:
  .
  Module name  . . . : ISPTASK
  Entry point address: 40C9E308
  .
  Error can occur after BROWSE primary command, or execution of a
  DB2 command or any other function that invokes ISPF BROWSE
  service. When ISPF is not loaded at an address that contains a
  high-order x'40' no error occurs when using BROWSE service.
