APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
OSP-OTHER-SAP400-UNPRED-F/QYPSCLCT-T/QYPSCLCT-RC4-MSGMCH6801

The QPMACLCT job fails due to a MCH6801 exception.   A client
job SAPSOCOL also fails.

This problem is caused by a missing parameter pointer in the
call stack.  When that location happens to contain a valid
pointer, the area it points to is incorrectly changed.
Consequences of this error are unpredictable.

This problem can occur in the QPMACLCT job and any job that runs
the CRTPFRDTA command with FROMMGTCOL(*ACTIVE) specified.  The
only known problem instance is the  MCH6801 exception in the
QPMACLCT job (details follow).
