  Forward Fit APAR of FPO V2R1 PK22783:
  For OPC, the maintask may release buffer sets after END AREA
  processing, while the subtask is still using it to refer to the
  next buffer set.
  If the released storage is used by other utilities and cannot
  be referenced by OPC, when they try to access the buffer set,
  it will abend with an S0C4.
  PK15675 has been offered to address this issue in ODE.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FPXANAL0 have been modified to exit the loop when the
  END AREA or END JOB processing is over, without refering to the
  next buffer set.
