Error description

  • Your region is at SOS above the line, then you receive
    following message,
    MESSAGE:   DFHSO0001 An abend (code 0C4/AKEX) has occurred
               at offset X'1D4E' in module DFHSOSE.
    SYMPTOMS:  PIDS/5655Y0400 LVLS/680 MS/DFHSO0001 RIDS/DFHSOSE
               PTFS/UI33707 AB/S00C4 AB/UAKEX ADRS/00001D4E
    .
    The trace shows the following,
    SM 0302 SMGF  EXIT  - FUNCTION(GETMAIN) RESPONSE(PURGED)
                  REASON(INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE) ADDRESS(00000000)
    .
    It appears there is an issue in CICS code in DFHSOSE UI33707
    where the task was requesting GET_LENGTH(1470) for SOGENRAL
    of ECDSA storage, since CICS has no more ECDSA storage left
    at the dump time, the GETMAIN request was purged/x'06'.
    However, CICS is still trying to loop through the code at
    01D0E to add each buffer list to the storage we have never
    gotten. This leads to the abend0C4 issue.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend0C4 in DFHSOSE after CICS Short    *
    *                      On Storage condition.                   *

    * RECOMMENDATION: .                                            *
    ****************************************************************
    CICS goes Short On Storage and enters stall purge (SPURGE)
    and deadlock-timeout (DTIMEOUT) processing to purge eligible
    tasks. If DFHSOSE is in a suspended GETMAIN, waiting for the
    SOS condition to end, then it is purged.
    DFHSOSE does not handle the PURGED response correctly, and
    tries to use a null GETMAIN pointer, resulting in an 0C4
    abend.
    
    Keywords: AbendS0C4 S0C4
    

Problem conclusion

  • DFHSOSE has been changed to process the PURGED response from
    its GETMAIN call correctly.
