****************************************************************
An ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 can occur in an IMS Batch Processing
Region (BMP) when using Optimized Local Adapter (OLA) services
such as BBOA1SRV, which wait for work to arrive for
processing.  The OLA services attempt to query the status
of the IMS region and can follow an incorrect control block
chain when running in a BMP.  This condition only occurs
after the OLA service has been waiting for work for over 60
seconds.  The BMP region is terminated following the ABEND.

Problem conclusion

Code was added to the Optimized Local Adapters (OLA) component
of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, which follows a
different control block chain when querying the status of an
IMS region.

APAR PM36598 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.19 of WebSphere Application Server V7.0.
