  In the reported problem, a C/C++ application program contained
  an EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION command. This program was
  processed by the CICS integrated translator. However, the
  aforementioned command is not supported in C or C++ CICS
  applications. As a consequence, the integrated translator should
  have issued message DFH7054I but instead caused an 0C4 abend.
  This occurred because not enough storage was reserved by the
  translator for the message.
  
  The same problem may occur with other unsupported CICS
  commands in C/C++ application programs.
