PM70740: PROGRAM NOT IN USE CAN NOT BE NEW COPIED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You have a CICS region where a program called PROGRAM1 could not
  be new copied.  This is because CICS thought the program was in
  use even though no transaction was using this program.
  .
  PG domain shows this program with a use count of 1 and no tasks
  are using the program.  The LD domain shows the program with a
  use count of 1.
  .
  Earlier during this run of CICS, there are a series of dumps as
  a task was abending because of an application overlay. DFHPG0001
  program check in DFHAPLI1 at +X'1D1E' due to the tasks EIUS
  control block being overlayed with x'40's
  .
  Kernal Error Table shows:
  PROGRAM_CHECK 0C4/AKEA UNKNOWN  UNKNOWN
  PROGRAM_CHECK 0C4/AKEA DFHAPLI1 00001D1E
  PERCOLATE     ---/AKEA DFHPGLE  00001410
  .
   In this series of dumps you can see task nnnnn was using
  PROGRAM1 and while the errors percolated passed the PROGRAM1
  level, the use count was not decremented.  Causing PROGRAM1 to
  not be new copied.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unable to NEWCOPY a program.            *

  In the reported problem, the following program flow was in
  effect:
                                                                 .
  Program_A linked to Program_B which XCTL'd to Program_C.
                                                                 .
  Program_C abended due to an overlay of EIUS storage.  DFHAPLI1
  recovery routine was driven but a path exists where the
  RES ( usecount ) of Program_C was not decremented.
                                                                 .
  As a consequence, it was not possible to NEWCOPY a new version
  of Program_C because usecount could never be zero.
  

Problem conclusion

• Program Manager has been amended to decrement the program
  usecount correctly.
