Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the HD Pointer Checker job, it is required that all logically
  related and index databases are specified in the PROCCTL data
  set. When this condition is not satisfied, HD Pointer Checker
  should end with a RC=04 or a RC=00 - however, HD Pointer Checker
  issues ABENDU3999 incorrectly.

  A database number(DB#) is assigned to all logically or
  index databases by the HD Pointer Checker.
  This error causes because HD Pointer Checker process the DB#
  incorectly, when some logically or index databases are not
  processed.
  
  The detailed conditions of this error is as follows:
  1. The databases are non-HALDB.
  2. Some logically related or index databases are not specified
     in the DATABASE statement in the PROCCTL data set.
  3. The DB# of the unspecified database is smaller than
     the DB# of the specified database.
  4. The specified database has pointers pointing to the
     unspecified database, and the target database having a
     smaller DB# than the specified database.
  
  When all of the following conditions are satisfied,
  HD Pointer Checker searches the internal control block by the
  DB# of unspecified database instead of the specified database,
  and gets ABENDU3999.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FABPHEVL is corrected not to use the unspecified DB#.
