PK23066: ONLINE POINTER CHECKER ABEND0C4 IN FPXANAL0 NEAR X'110'

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Online Pointer Checker ( OPC ) gets ABENDS0C4 in FPXANAL0, due
  to the mainline releasing a buffer set when the subtask is
  still using it.
  Additional Symptom: ABENDU3504 FPXADRV8
  
  This is a forward fit APAR originated by FPO V2R1 APAR
  PK22783.

  Forward Fit APAR of FPO V2R1 PK22783:
  For OPC and ODE, 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 and ODE, when they try to access the
  buffer set, it will abend with an S0C4.
  PK16857 has been offered to address this issue in ODE, PK23066
  will enhance the check for not refering to the released buffer
  set.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FPXANAL0 and FPXTRCT0 have been modified to exit
  the loop when the END AREA or END JOB processing is over,
  without refering to the next buffer set.
