Error description

  • AbendD78-04 in CSVFRR2 after applying OA66032's PTFs UJ97309
    for z/OS 2.5 or UJ97286 for z/OS 3.1.
    
    PE information:
    Users Affected:  Users running HBB77D0 with OA66032's PTF
    UJ97309 or HBB77E0 with OA66032's PTF UJ97286.  z/OS HBB77F0
    is not affected, and it is OK.
                                                                .
    User Impact:  Possible ABENDD78-04 in CSVFRR2.  CSVFRR2 is
    the second level recovery for main Contents Supervisor (CSV)
    or ESTAE recovery routine CSVFRR.  This means that the
    AbendD78 occurred after a previous abend occurred in mainline
    Contents Supervisor processing (and CSVFRR got control).
                                                                 .
    User Action:  The ABENDD78 is a secondary abend that occurred
    in the main CSV FRR or ESTAE recovery routine CSVFRR.  CSVFRR
    only gets control when some abend occurred in CSV processing.
    If there is no abend in CSV processing, then this ABENDD78
    secondary abend will not occur.
    
    This problem is only exposed when there is an initial abend
    in Contents Supervisor mainline processing (e.g. system
    processing of a LINK, LOAD, ATTACH, XCTL, etc).  Such an event
    is not common.  However, if there is such an abend, it may not
    be successfully retried due to the problem described by this
    APAR.  This can lead to unpredictable impact to the requester
    of the Contents Supervisor service.  Customers experiencing
    this problem should leave the PE'd PTF on their system and
    should arrange to put on the fix for APAR OA68303 at their
    earliest convenience.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AbendD78-04 in CSVFRR2.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    Following an initial abend in CSV processing, a second abend
    (AbendD78-04) may occur in CSVFRR2. CSVFRR processing was
    attempting to free a dynamic workarea and specified an
    incorrect length, but it was due to OA66032 missing some parts
    that determined the correct length.
    
    This problem does not occur in HBB77F0.

Problem conclusion

  • Added the necessary parts to be recompiled to determine the
    correct length used by CSVFRR when it frees a dynamic
    workarea.
