PK23999: ABEND ASRA/S0C4 IN BMZ4 DURING CMAS INITIALIZATION

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Abend ASRA/S0C4 may occur in a CMAS in method EYU0BMZ4 (BMZ4)
  during CMAS initialization if a RASGNDEF that is associated with
  a RESDESC does not have a RESGROUP associated with it.
  
  The abend may also occur after CMAS initialization when a
  RASGNDEF that does not have a RESGROUP associated with it is
  associated with a RESDESC.
  
  If the abend occurs during CMAS initialization, it will be
  accompanied by message EYUBI0102E.  This will result in BAS
  resources not being installed properly into MASes by the CMAS.

  ****************************************************************
  When a RASGNDEF is created, or during CMAS initialization for an
  existing RASGNDEF, an EYUBBASG control block is built by method
  EYU0BMAA (BMAA) in the BAS dataspace to contain information
  about the RASGNDEF.  One piece of information contained in the
  EYUBBASG is the numeric resource type (RESTYPE) associated with
  the RASGNDEF.  When the RASGNDEF is associated with a RESDESC,
  the RESTYPE value is used by method EYU0BMZ3 (BMZ3) to build an
  offset into another BAS control block, that is used by method
  EYU0BMZ4 (BMZ4).
  
  When BMAA builds the EYUBBASG, if the RASGNDEF does not have a
  RESGROUP associated with it, it does not correctly set the
  RESTYPE.  This causes BMZ3 to build an invalid offset, which may
  result in BMZ4 abending with an ASRA/S0C4 when it processes the
  offset.
  

Problem conclusion

• BMAA has been updated to always set the RESTYPE properly when
  building an EYUBBASG control block.

Comments

• Abend ASRA/S0C4 may occur in a CMAS in
  method EYU0BMZ4 (BMZ4) during CMAS
  initialization if a RASGNDEF that is
  associated with a RESDESC does not have
  a RESGROUP associated with it.
  
  The abend may also occur after CMAS
  initialization when a RASGNDEF that
  does not have a RESGROUP associated
  with it is associated with a RESDESC.
  
  If the abend occurs during CMAS
  initialization, it will be accompanied
  by message EYUBI0102E.  This will
  result in BAS resources not being
  installed properly into MASes by the
  CMAS.
