Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This APAR is forward fit of PK75608.
  When databases have problems that include the relation between
  the number of index pointers and index source segments, HD
  Pointer Checking (HDPC) attempts to generate an error message,
  but HDPC accesses to an invalid storage location and this causes
  the ABENDS0C4 depending on the condition of the storage.
  This ABEND happends in the HD Pointer Checker HASH checking.

  This APAR is forward fit from Version 2 Release 2 APAR PK75608.
  
  HD Pointer Checker may get ABEND0C4 when all of the conditions
  below are satisfied:
    1. Secondary index database is processed with HASH check
       option.
    2. A pointer error or an index key errors is detected by HD
       Pointer Checker.
  
  In order to fill a database name or a segment name in error
  into an error message, HD Pointer Checker refers to an incorrect
  storage area and causes ABEND0C4
  
  This error ABEND can occur when HASH Checking runs in
  HDPC stand-alone (FABPMAIN) job, HP Image Copy, IMS Parallel
  Reorganization (IPR), and Database Recovery Facility (DRF) job.
  

Problem conclusion

• HD Pointer Checker has been changed to obtain the database name
  and the segment name from a correct area. The following module
  has been modified:
     FABPHEVL
