Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• R7 is supposed to be pointing to the XCGLOBAL cntl block but the
  XCGLOBAL area has just been FREMAIN'd
  .
  The failing instruction is
  .
    58F07028  or  L R15,XCG_URM_ADDR
  .
  This failure only occurs if CICSSVC=0 (the default) is specified
  in DFHXCOPT, and no CICS region has logged onto IRP since the
  last system IPL.
  

Local fix

• Code the CICSSVC parm in DFHXCOPT to point to the SVC you are
  using, or allow at least one CICS region to logon to IRP after
  each IPL before using EXCI feature.

  ****************************************************************
  An abend0C4 is issued within DFHXCPRH if a batch EXCI job is
  run and no CICS jobs have run since the IPL. DFHXCPRH is
  to return with a reason code of 201, NO_CICS_IRC_STARTED.
  After the error situation is detected, DFHXCPRH freemains the
  XCGLOBAL area, but then invokes the URM DFHXCURM, and in doing
  so attempts to reference the now freed XCGLOBAL area.

Problem conclusion

• DFHXCPRH has been amended to invoke the URM DFHXCURM before
  the XCGLOBAL area is freemained in the case where the reason
  code is 'NO_CICS_IRC_STARTED'.
