PK15690: DFHDP0001 ABEND (CODE 0C4/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET X'12D0' IN MODULE DFHDPPM.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DPPM has been invoked for pattern matching. We are in routine
  pattern_match_profile. dpta_pm_list_ptr is null, and so we set
  the response to no match and bypass the loop to scan the dlpl
  entries. Had we gone into this code, we would have set record
  match to on or off as appropriate.Immediately after the loop
  that we have bypassed, we then check record_match. Since this
  has not been initialized, we fall into code that references
  dlpl_ptr which again has not been set and we abend. We should
  initialize record_match to off earlier in this routine.

  ****************************************************************
  When using the debug tool it is possible for module DFHDPPM to
  suffer an abend0C4. DFHDPPM is in procedure
  pattern_match_profile trying to find a profile match for the
  current program. If a profile match is found then the flag
  record_match is set on. When the record_match flag is set then
  DFHDPPM tries to move the profile fields. However it is
  possible to enter pattern_match_profile with record_match
  invalidly set on. If this happens and a profile is not found,
  DFHDPPM may abend trying to move profile fields which don't
  exist.

Problem conclusion

• Record_match has been initialised at the beginning of
  pattern_match_profile in DFHDPPM.
