  THIS APAR HAS BEEN CREATED TO HELP DIAGNOSE ABEND0C4 PROBLEMS
  WHEN RUNNING PRINT SERVICES FACILITY IN THE MVS ENVIRONMENT.
  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED AS OTHER PROBLEMS ARE
  IDENTIFIED.  LISTED BELOW ARE COMMON ITEMS TO CHECK WHEN
  RECEIVING THE ABEND0C4. ONE OR MORE OF THESE ITEMS MAY PERTAIN
  TO THE SYSTEM, PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL TO DETERMINE IF THEY APPLY.
  ****************************************************************
  1 - STEPLIB STATEMENTS IN PSF AND/OR JES
  2 - PPT ENTRY MISSING FOR APSPPIEP
  3 - JES2 EXIT 23 ENABLED
  4 - AMODE/RMODE SPECIFICATIONS
  5 - JESFIT SET TO X'40'
  6 - ABEND0C4 USING CHANNEL EXTENDERS
  7 - ABEND02A USING PSF TRACE
  8 - ABEND0C4 PIC 4 at X'126' or X'12A' into APSPPIEP
  ****************************************************************
  ****************************************************************
  1. STEPLIB STATEMENTS.  WHEN UTILIZING STEPLIB STATEMENTS IN
  EITHER THE JES OR THE PSF PROC IT IS CRITICAL TO MAKE SURE THAT
  BOTH PSF AND JES ARE POINTING TO LIBRARIES THAT CONTAIN THE SAME
  LEVEL JES MODULES.  IF THE PSF PROCEDURE AND THE JES
  INITIALIZATION DECK ARE POINTING TO DIFFERENT LIBRARIES, THEN
  THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT THE COPY OF THE FUNCTIONAL
  SUBSYSTEM SUPPORT MODULE - CALLED HASPFSSM - THAT IS PICKED UP
  WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER JES MODULES THAT ARE UTILIZED.
  IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO PICK UP THE WRONG LEVEL OF ANOTHER
  JES SUPPORT MODULE - HASPSSSM.  TO DETERMINE IF THIS COULD BE
  THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (THE ABEND0C4), GO TO THE SYSTEM DUMP.
  ONCE IN THE DUMP, LOCATE THE RTM2WA SUMMARY SECTION.  ONCE IN
  THAT SECTION, FIND THE PSW AT TIME OF ERROR.  GO TO THE ADDRESS
  IN THE SECOND WORD OF THE PSW AND LOOK AT THE EYECATCHER IN THAT
   AREA.  THE AREA MAY EXPAND BACK SEVERAL PAGES.  LOOK FOR THE
  WORD HASPFSSM OR HASPSSSM IN THE EYECATCHER, IF YOU FIND IT,
  THEN THERE IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM.
  TO ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT LEVEL OF MODULES ARE BEING PICKED
  UP BY PSF AND JES, VERIFY THAT THE CONCATENATION ON THE
  STEPLIBS FOR THE TWO PROCS ARE THE SAME.

  ****************************************************************
  2.  PPT ENTRY MISSING. A CHANGE WAS INTRODUCED WITH MVS/XA 2.2.0
  THAT REQUIRES A PROGRAM PROPERTIES TABLE ENTRY TO BE SET UP FOR
  THE PSF LOAD MODULE APSPPIEP.  THE PPT IS LOCATED IN
  SYS1.PARMLIB IN THE MEMBER SCHEDXX.  THE ENTRY SHOULD LOOK LIKE
  THE FOLLOWING:
  PPTNAME PGMNAME(APSPPIEP)
       KEY(1)
       NOSWAP
       CANCEL
       NOPRIV
       SYST
       NODSI     (THIS IS AN OPTIONAL SETTING)
       PASS
       AFF(NONE)
       NOPREF
  THESE PARAMETERS ARE EXPLAINED IN THE MVS/XA INITIALIZATION AND
  TUNING MANUAL IN THE SYSTEM INITIALIZATION SECTION.  AFTER THIS
  ENTRY IS SET UP, AN IPL OF THE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED TO INCORPORATE
   THE CHANGE.
  ****************************************************************
  3.  JES2 EXIT 23 ENABLED.  THIS JES EXIT CAN LEAD TO AN ABEND0C4
  CONDITION IN PSF WHEN TRYING TO INITIALIZE PSF.  THE EXIT IS A
  USER CODED EXIT.  TO DETERMINE IF THE EXIT IS ENABLED, ENTER THE
  FOLLOWING JES COMMAND FROM THE CONSOLE:
        $D EXIT(23)
  THIS WILL RETURN A HASP823 MESSAGE THAT REPORTS THE STATUS OF
  THE EXIT.  IF THE STATUS IS ENABLED, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISABLE
  IT WITH THE FOLLOWING JES COMMAND:
        $T EXIT(23),STATUS=DISABLE
  THEN TRY TO REINITIALIZE PSF.  IF IT COMES UP CORRECTLY, THEN
  THERE IS SOME ERROR IN THE EXIT 23 THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
  ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:  ABEND0C1 HASCSIRQ WITH EXIT 23 ENABLED
  ****************************************************************
    ==>> THIS ITEM PERTAINS TO PSF V1.3.0 HAF1228 ONLY!  <<==
  4.  AMODE/RMODE SPECIFICATIONS.  PSF V1.3.0 IS A PROGRAM THAT
  RUNS BELOW THE 16 MEG LINE IN THE MVS ENVIRONMENT.  IF THE
  AMODE OR RMODE PARAMETER IS SET TO 31-BIT ADDRESSING FOR THE
  SYSTEM, AN ABEND0C4 IN PSF MAY OCCUR.  AN INDICATION OF THIS IS
  THE SECOND WORD OF THE PSW IN THE RTM2WA SUMMARY AREA OF THE
  SYSTEM DUMP FOR THE ABEND0C4.  IF THE HIGH ORDERBIT IS ON IN
  THE SECOND WORD, (IF THE ADDRESS STARTS WITH AN 8.......)
  THEN 31-BIT ADDRESSES ARE BEING ACCESSED.  THIS PARAMETER IS
  SET UP IN THE LINK-EDIT PARAMETERS FOR THE SYSTEM AND CAN BE
  ACCESSED VIA SMP.  BOTH THE AMODE AND THE RMODE NEED TO BE SET
  TO 24 FOR PSF.
  ****************************************************************
  5.  JESFSIT SET TO X'40'.  THIS PROBLEM HAS ARISEN DUE TO AN
  SPE FOR JES2 THAT ALLOWS A NEW TRACE FUNCTION TO BE PERFORMED.
  THERE IS MAINTENANCE REQUIRED BY OTHER COMPONENTS THAT IS
  NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THIS TRACE FUNCTION.  THIS MAINTENANCE
  INCLUDES OY22198, OY23160, OY20983 AND OY20769.  SEE APAR
  OY21384 FOR A MORE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF THIS SPE.
  DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NEW FUNCTION, AN ABEND0C4
  CONDITION HAS OCCURRED IN PSF.  THIS SITUATION MAY VARY IN
  A PARTICULAR SYSTEM BASED ON A FEW FACTORS.  WHEN RUNNING PSF
  IN DEFERRED MODE (THROUGH JES) THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE
  INTERMITTENT, BUT OCCURS WHEN THE PRINTER IS STARTED.  IF
  RUNNING PSF IN DIRECT PRINTING MODE THERE IS A 100% FAILURE
  WHEN STARTING THE PRINTER.  TO DETERMINE IF THE JESFSIT
  BYTE IS SET TO X'40' IN THE SYSTEM, FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
  A. LOCATE THE ADDRESS OF THE CVT.  THIS IS FOUND AT X'10' IN
     LOW CORE.
  B. GO TO THAT ADDRESS.
  C. GO +X'128' INTO THE CVT.  THIS IS THE ADDRESS OF THE JESCT.
  D. GO TO THE JESCT.  (THE EYECATCHER WILL SAY JEST.)
  E. GO TO +X'46' INTO THE JESCT.
  F. IF THAT BYTE (JESCT + X'46') IS SET TO X'40' THEN CONTACT
     JES2 FOR CIRCUMVENTION.  THE JES2 APAR THAT ADDRESSES THIS
     ISSUE IS OY28880.  JES COMMON SERVICES MAY ALSO BE CONTACTED
     FOR ASSISTANCE IN THIS AREA.  THEIR COMPID IS 5752SB141.
  ****************************************************************
  6. ABEND0C4 CHANNEL EXTENDERS.  IF USING A CHANNEL EXTENDER TO
     EXTEND PRINTER PROCESSING INSURE THE CHANNEL I/O GEN AND
     PRINTER CONFIGURATION ARE COMPATABLE WITH THE CHANNEL
     EXTENDER CAPABILITIES. (IE: DATA STREAMING OR NON-DATA
     STREAMING FUNCTION)
  ****************************************************************
  7. ABEND02A PSF TRACE. IF PARAMETERS ARE CODED INCORRECTLY TO
     INITIATE PSF NST AND FULL TRACE FACILITIES THIS ABEND CAN
     PUT FROM THE 2 SEPERATE TRACES TO THE SAME SYSOUT FILE.
     SEE JES APAR OY32552
  **************************************************************
  8. AN ABEND0C4 PIC 4 CAN OCCUR AT X'126' OR X'12A' INTO
     APSPPIEP IF YOU HAVE A STEPLIB IN THE PSF STARTUP PROC
     (PRINTDEV) THAT IS NOT APF AUTHORIZED. SEE OPERATING SYSTEM
     INIT & TUNING MANUAL ON HOW TO SET APF AUTHORIZATION.
  **************************************************************
  9. AN ABEND0C4 PIC11 CAN OCCUR IN IAZFSIT AT OFFSET X'9A6'
     (AT HBB5510 LEVEL) IF THERE IS A STEPLIB IN THE JES2 PROC
     AND NOT IN THE PSF PROC.
