PM89915: SYNTAX ERROR IS DETECTED WHEN FPXIN AND FPXOPTS DD'S ARE SPECIFIED FOR OPC (ONLINE POINTER CHECKER)

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error message received:
  FPX0233E Syntax errors were detected in FPXIN JCL stream
  
  This message is shown when both FPXIN DD and FPXOPTS DD are
  specified for OPC and OER JCL's. An ABEND0C4 also occurs when
  both FPXIN DD and FPXOPTS DD are specified for ODE and ODM
  JCL's. This ABENDS0C4 occurs at DFSRRC10 offset x'274'.
  Prior to the ABENDS0C4, two ABENDS0C1's were seen:
  ODE: S0C1 in FPXD0000 offset x'34C'
  ODM: S0C1 in FPXUSIT0 offset x'254'
  
  Additional Keywords: S0C4 MSGFPX0233E ABEND0C1 ABENDS0C1

Problem conclusion

• 1. When both FPXIN DD statement and FPXOPTS DD statement were
  specified in their JCLs, the address of the main control block
  was destroyed after analyzing FPXOPTS DD statement.
  Consequently error situation (syntax error or abend) occurred
  when the programs referred the fields in the main control block
  next time.
  The common module that analyzes FPXIN and FPXOPTS DD statements
  has been modified not to destroy the address of the main control
  block after analyzing FPXOPTS DD statement.
  
  2. OAE creates dummy CIs for expanded CIs by calling DBFUMRI0
  (ADS create utility). OPC showed FPX0110I messages to inform
  that these CIs were skipped the checking even if they exist
  beyond SDEP Logical Begin (LB) and SDEP Logical End (LE).
  OPC has been modified to issue the FPX0110I message only for
  the CIs that exists in the range of SDEP LB and LE.

   The following message is changed:
  
     FPX0110I CI formatted by Create Utility was encountered,
              CI was skipped. RBA of CI: nnnnnnnn
  
     Explanation: A control interval that contains dummy data
     formatted by the DEDB Area Data Set Create Utility was
     encountered, but it was not processed. The dummy data CI
     that is specified by the subsystem ID "CREATFMT" is in the
     subsystem name filed in the SDEP CI prefix, and the CI was
     formatted during the copy phase of the DEDB Area Data Set
     Create Utility. This CI implies that it was preallocated and
     will be overlaid by the SDEP CI image that contains real SDEP
   | segments or SDEP preallocated dummy CI image that contains
   | expanded CIs by Online Area Extender(OAE) SDEP expansion.
  
     System action: Processing continues, but the "CREATFMT"
     dummy CI will be skipped on this run.
     User response: This message is informational.
