PK21204: ODE WITH INTERNAL SORT CAN CAUSE A LOOP OR AN ABEND378 TO OCCUR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When ODE is running with internal sort, there is a possibility
  of a loop in module FPXWSET0, or an ABENDS378, due to an
  incorrect setting of the buffer set pointer.
  The loop shows near offsets x'F2' to x'104' within the routine.

  ****************************************************************
  When ODE is running with internal sort (SORT=YES is specified in
  FPXCTL DD and ODESORT DD is not specified in JCL), there is
  possibility of causing a loop in module FPXWSET0, or an
  ABEND378, due to incorrect setting of buffer set pointer in
  module FPXSRCT0.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FPXSRCT0 has been modified to get a correct buffer
  set when buffer sets has pointer chain, and store next set
  pointer in the buffer set before freeing it.
