PI98554: SDSFAUX ABEND S0C4 WHEN SDSFAUX IS STARTED MANUALLY.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When SDSFAUX is started manually and the SDSF server is active,
  the SDSFAUX server will end without an obvious message because
  it takes a silent abend. In the joblog there will be a series of
  HSF009I messages indicating the abend such as:
  HSF0091I - ABCC 840C4000
  A better indication needs to be presented so the user
  understands why the SDSFAUX server did not start.

  The SDSF server automatically starts SDSFAUX and should not be
  started
  manually using an MVS START command.
  
  
  
  When SDSFAUX is started manually using an MVS START command and
  the SDSF address space is active, an abend S0C4 in SDSFAUX will
  occur and HSF0091I - ABCC 840C4000 will be issued.
  
  
  When SDSFAUX is started manually and the SDSF server is not
  active, an abend U0301 reason code xxxx0C04 occurs but this
  abend code is not documented.
  

Problem conclusion

• SDSFAUX has been changed to abend with code U0201 reason code
  xxxx040C when SDSFAUX is not started by the SDSF address space.
  
  
  In addition, when the SDSFAUX server is started and SDSF server
  
  is not active SDSFAUX will ABEND U0201 with reason code
  xxxx0C04.
  
  
  
  Help panel ISFJCDE is updated to describe both the xxxx040C
  and xxxx0C04 reason codes.
