PH58723: ABEND 0C4-11 IN MODULE CSQOXATR WHEN EXECUTING CSQUTIL MAKEDEF

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The S0C4 abend is occurring while parsing the output from a
  DISPLAY SUB(*) ALL command to build the MAKEDEF output. A SUB
  has a problematic field SELECTOR(ConsumerCode LIKE '%FRAM%).
  The embedded quote character breaks the parsing logic in
  CSQOXATR which leads to the parsing logic reading past the
  command buffer.
  

Local fix

• To circumvent this problem, SUB with SELECTOR fields which do
  not contain embedded quotes should be used.

  *                      CSQUTIL or the MQ ISPF Panels, if       *
  *                      one or more subscriptions contains a    *
  *                      selection string containing unbalanced  *

  *                      Other symptoms can include incorrect    *
  *                      or residual values for SELECTOR and     *
  *                      subsequent attributes.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  While parsing the output of DISPLAY SUBSCRIPTION, CSQOXATR
  attempted to determine the length of a subscriptions selector,
  however the selector was invalid as it contained unbalanced
  quotes and/or parenthesis. This caused an error in the parsing
  code, resulting in the reported symptoms.
  The subscription was allowed to be created with the invalid
  value as validation of extended selectors is deferred to the
  context based filtering provider rather than the queue manager.
  

Problem conclusion

• The parsing code in CSQOXATR has been updated to handle
  selectors containing unbalanced quotes and parentheses.
  

Temporary fix
