Error description

  • When a 0A30(SVC 30)is executed the flags indicate a UCB is being
    passed and the UCB Address is all zero's. This causes CICS to
    abend with an abendS430. CICHD000 PLX is not setting up the DEQ
    (SVC30) correctly.

    ****************************************************************
    In the reported problem, a REXX EXPORT command was issued by
    The REXX Runtime facility running on the CICS Transaction
    Server for z/OS.
                                                                   .
    The EXPORT command has a 'target' parameter which is the name
    of an allocated MVS dataset.  However, the dataset did not
    exist. As a consequence, the UCB ( Unit Control Block )
    pointer at offset x'C' in the parameter list for the SVC 30 was
    null.  This caused the SVC to fail.  An abendAKEB was issued
    and CICS terminated.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Module CICHD000 has been modified to bypass the aforementioned
    SVC 30 call if the Unit Control Block pointer is null.
