OA62876: S0C4 ABEND IN NETVIEW, ERRMOD=AAUDBRPA, RCYMOD=DSIMSX, DOMAIN=XXXX

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An AAUMDBR macro invocation in the OPENTBLE subroutine of
  AAUDXTRC generates a call to module AAUDBRPA that passes 7
  parameters.  AAUDBRPA, expects 8 parameters.
  
  The OPENTAB subroutine of AAUDBRPA references that 8th parameter
   (TBLADDR) and blows up (0C4-11), because what is being
  interpreted as the address of the 8th parameter is, at least
  partially, a 2 character value (a module location ID '01').

  ****************************************************************
  A macro (AAUMDBR) in NLDM for managing internal tables generates
  some calls to its associated service routine (AAUDBRPA) with
  fewer parameters than the service routine expects.  For some
  instances of such calls, the compiler generates address lists
  with fewer entries than would be expected to be present for
  all of the parameters the service routine expects.  As a
  result, the service routine's reference to a parameter, say the
  last (8th) one, would go the expected last (8th) address list
  entry to get the address of the parameter, but that location is
  not an address list entry, so it could pick up and use as an
  address data that may be, say, character data, leading to the
  possible abend 0C4.
  -
  The macro code generating the calls with too few parameters has
  been there for many years; however, it has only been with the
  compiler used with IBM Z NetView V6R3 that address lists for
  the calls have been generated in such a way as to expose the
  problem.
  

Problem conclusion

• Macro AAUMDBR is being changed to generate calls to the
  associated service routine (AAUDBRPA) with all of the
  expected parameters, so there are no invalid references.
  3 parts - AAUDCONA, AAUDSESH, AAUDSGWB - are being given an
  additional base register for their (re)compiles due to the
  macro change, and 67 other parts are just being recompiled for
  the macro change, as follows:
