Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 0C4/AKEA abend happened when a Java * * application runs from a terminal * * with TCTUA and calls getTCTUA method * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A Java application runs from a terminal with TCTUA. When constructing a terminal instance, CICS gets the common data from current terminal which include the TCTUA address. 31 bit TCTUA address is stored in a 4 bytes array. Later in the application, getTCTUA is called. A 64 bit pointer is used to get the value from previous byte array to address TCTUA. The byte array only has 4 bytes so the following 4 bytes in storage are read as well The incorrect TCTUA pointer results in 0C4 abend when copying the TCTUA into holder's byte array. Additional keywords: abend0C4, abendS0C4
