Error description
VTAM storage growth in the RTPINFO SPANC pool. The RTPINFO pool is full of SGMNT (HPR segment) control blocks. Additional Symptom: Abend0A9 RC 7002 in module ISTRPCSG.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All using HPR/RTP connections. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Private storage fills with SGMN control * * blocks. Storage is allocated from the * * RTPINFO GETBLK storage pool. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The problem is summarized as follows: 1) A malformed PIU is received on the NCBWORKQ for an HPR pipe. The PIU is built from an IO buffer and one of the TSCCONT TSCBs has a TSCDATLN that exceeds the IO buffer size. The IO buffer following this PIU has also been overlayed. No documentation was available to debug how the malformed PIU was built incorrectly. This APAR is taken to address a loop that occurs when processing this PIU. 2) An HPR pipe dispatched and processed the PIU. Since the PIU length exceeded the largest NLP this pipe can send, the PIU must be segmented by HPR. 3) While segmenting this PIU, the HPR code went into an infinite loop allocating HPR segment (SGMN) control blocks. 4) Eventually, the RTPINFO storage pool could not expand any further (x'FFFF' pages), and an ABEND0A9 RC7002 was issued in module ISTRPCSG when trying to allocate another SGMN control block. 5) The RPNCB was cleaned up, but all of the storage allocated while processing the invalid PIU was lost. The storage shortage in the RTPINFO pool caused many other RTP pipes to receive ABEND0A9 RC7002 conditions as a result of the storage shortage in this GETBLK pool.
Problem conclusion
ISTRPCSG - Code segment SEGMNTT has been corrected to detect when the data within on TSCB exceeds the NLP size for the RPNCB. If this occurs, an ABEND0A9 RCFF13 is issued. ISTRPCRT - Has been included for maintenance purposes.
