Error description

  • 5655M1500
    Customer created CORBASERVER definition using RDO. This
    definition is coded using every space available. Meaning all
    space in DESCRIPTION, SHELF, DJARDIR, etc....
    When using DFHCSDUP to execute command:
    LIST  GROUP(xxxx) OBJECTS
    ABEND0C4 is issued from DFHPUP around offset x'254E'. Failing
    instruction pointed to is an EX (execute instruction). The
    instruction being executed is a MVC (move character). The move
    is moving data from area pointed to by register 6 to where
    register 7 is pointing. The move fails due to register 7
    pointing to the last byte of the allocated page storage. The
    following page is not allocated and the move fails.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Abend 0C4 occurs using DFHCSDUP to      *
    *                      LIST GROUP() OBJECTS, when one of the   *
    *                      objects is a CORBASERVER.               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When executing a DFHCSDUP LIST function, DFHPUP getmains a
    buffer of length 1536 bytes to contain each flattened CSD
    definition. If the definition is for a CORBASERVER then the
    total of the lengths of the attributes may exceed 1536 bytes
    and the flattened data may overwrite storage beyond the end
    of the buffer resulting in an abend0C4.
    
    This problem, or a storage violation, may also occur when using
    CEDA to define a CORBASERVER, or when doing EXEC CICS CREATE
    CORBASERVER() LOGMESSAGE(LOG), because the same 1536-byte
    buffer is getmained to flatten the definition before it is
    logged to the CSDL TD queue.

Problem conclusion

  • DFHPUP has been altered to increase the length of the buffer
    to 2048 bytes.
