PK36720: ABEND U0083 WHEN FPA CHANGE FUNCTION PROCESSES 24 AREAS IN PARALLEL.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abend U0083 when FPA change function processes 24 areas in
  parallel.  FPA couldn't dynamically allocate SORT WORK data
  sets for the internal sorting.
  Aditional Keywords:
  ABENDU0083
  

Local fix

• Process less than 24 areas at a time.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. ABENDU0083 occurs when FPA change    *
  *                        function processes a large number of  *
  *                        areas in parallel.                    *
  *                      2. The error message HFPI0005E is not   *
  *                        clear when the PTF level of the HPIC  *
  *                        is not high enough.                   *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  1. FPA calls DFSORT internally to sort some kinds of records.
    DFSORT allocates the sort work data sets dynamically for an
    area according to the installation defaults of DFSORT because
    FPA does not pass the number of work data sets to DFOSRT.
    Therefore, if large number is defined as the number of work
    data sets in the installation defaults, ABENDU0083 can occur
    with the following FPA functions.
   - ANALYZE with PTRCHKLVL=FULL keyword using multiple tasks
   - CHANGE in non-REORG mode (restructure) with multiple tasks
   - EXTRACT with SORT=YES keyword using multiple tasks
   - RELOAD with SORT=YES keyword using multiple tasks
   - UNLOAD with SORT=YES keyword using multiple tasks
  2. FPA issues the following message during the image copy
    creation process if the PTF level of the HPIC is not high
    enough.
      HFPI0005E AN ERROR WAS DETECTED IN THE HPIC PROCESSING FOR
                 RELOAD.
       - FUNCTION: INIT1, RETURN CODE:  8, REASON CODE: 00020001.
    Because the message is not clear, it should be changed.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. FPA is changed to pass '3' as the number of work data sets
    to DFSORT.
  2. FPA is changed to issue new sub text of HFPI0006E if the
    PTF level of the HPIC is not high enough.
