Problem conclusion
IMS PA keeps individual record counts for each type of log entry processed, (i.e. IMS, CEX, MON etc). In the case of IMS log records two sets of counters are maintained, one set being redundant. It is the redundant set which overflows on a value exceeding x'7FFFFFFF' causing an invalid branch into an additional processing stream which has not been initialized, resulting in the subsequent S0C4 abend. The redundant set of IMS counters is no longer maintained, allowing for a record count of up to x'FFFFFFFF'. The individual counter fields will be increased from 4-bytes to 8-bytes in the next IMS PA Release.
