Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An abend0c4 rsn04 (pic04) occurred in user code (C++) when the
  ISPF VIIF service was used by C++ program running in the LE
  environment. The LE environment doesnot appear to be correctly
  initialized and R13 does not point to a valid DSA. Addresses
  loaded from it to address other control blocks are incorrect, in
  this case it was zeroes, causing a subsequent store instruction
  to attempt storing into the MVS PSA.
