Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The 0C4 in DFHTBSB occurs as a result of a bad SKELPTR in R5 of
  the failing instruction. Prior to the exception in the trace
  there is an:
  
  AP FCDD TBSM *EXC* MESSAGE  NUMBER(5983) INSERT(CASW)
  
  Which corresponds with the following message:
  
  DFHZC5983 E - Unable to replace resource
  
  After this trace entry you see later on that a Build has failed
  and has a node address of 00000000. At this point DFHTBSB uses
  the NODE to address a TCTTE without checking it is non-zero.
  This leads to picking up a bad surrogate TCTTE, TCTESUR and
  TCTTESKA (SKELPTR)

  ****************************************************************
  The problem occurred when running with the z/OS IGVDGNPP debug
  tool (also known as PRIMEPSA) active.
  DFHTBSB called DFHTBSBP as part of terminal autoinstall.
  DFHTBSBP found that a resource with that name already existed
  and it was not possible to replace it. An error response and
  null address were returned to DFHTBSB.
  DFHTBSB used the null address as a TCTTE address and set an
  invalid skeleton TCTTE address from storage within the PSA.
  Subsequent use of this invalid address caused the 0C4 abend.

Problem conclusion

• DFHTBSB has been changed to check for a null address returned
  from DFHTBSBP and to set the skeleton TCTTE address to
  nulls in this case.
