Error description
PMR 69243,180,000 - 0C4 in Easytrieve Classic Date reported: 08/15/2010 Severity: Medium Users Affected: All IMU users of MU V3.2 and prior versions Problem Description: Getting 0c4 program check on Easytrieve Classic program. Problem Summation Memory area beyond FILEB record is getting damaged because the acquired memory is too small. The acquired memory is that specified on the DCB LRECL= JCL statement for FILEB. If the FILEB record size specified is less than the real record length of FILEA, the MOVE statement of FILEA-RECORD into the FILEB-RECORD, in the generated COBOL, damages memory. This is because FILEA real record length is greater than the acquired memory for FILEB and FILEA length is used in the MOVE. The condition is specific to programs that do not specify record length for FILEA and the defined area is less than the actual length and FILEB definition does not have record size specified. Problem Conclusion: EASYT007 and FDYNIO0 modules were changed to use the FILEA record size for FILEB areas, if the FILEB record size is smaller than the FILEA record size. EASYT007 generates a negative length in FILEB-DCB-LRECL signaling to FSDYNIO0 that special handling is needed. The following PTFs must be applied prior to applying this fix.
