PM72414: DFHSR0001 AN ABEND (CODE 0C4/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET X'00004280' IN PROGRAM DFHAPLI1.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A user application running in user key9 links to a JAVA program
  which then runs on an open J9 TCB. The JAVA program then does
  an EXEC CICS XCTL to a COBOL program. An LE abend4038 occurs
  and then an ABEND0C4 in DFHAPLI1 as follows :
  DFHSR0001 AN ABEND (CODE 0C4/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET
  X'00004280' IN PROGRAM DFHAPLI1.
  .
  DFHAPLI1 is running in key 9 but trying to access the EIS which
  is in CICS key 8 storage.
  CICS then loops issuing a messages :
  DFHSR0622 applid An attempt to access the ECDSA
  has caused the abend which follows:
  DFHSR0001 AN ABEND (CODE 0C4/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET
  X'00004280' IN PROGRAM DFHAPLI1.
  

Local fix

• Consider restarting CICS with STGPROT=NO in the SIT.

  ****************************************************************
  An application running in user key links to a Java program which
  performs an EXEC CICS XCTL to a COBOL program. An LE abend4038
  occurs during rununit_termination for the COBOL program which
  drives DFHAPLI1's recovery routine. This routine tests a flag
  in the PLCB, plcb_hpj_program and switches to user key if it is
  on. Because the COBOL program inherited the Java program's PLCB
  on the XCTL, plcb_hpj_program is on. Control will not be
  passed to a Java program, but instead to a label in DFHAPLI1
  immediately following the point where LE was called for
  rununit_termination. The next instruction attempts to update the
  EIS which is in CICS key storage, but program checks because
  DFHAPLI1 is now in user key and CICS loops.

Problem conclusion

• DFHPGLE has been changed to turn off plcb_hpj_program for
  non-Java programs.
