APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Application is invoked from the primary menu (via a TSO command)
    and performs a number of CONTROL DISPLAY SAVE ISPF calls
    followed by a greater number of CONTROL DISPLAY RESTORE calls.
    Eventually ISPF experiences ABEND0C4 in ISPDTD on return from a
    TBDISPL service call.
    MSGISPP147 is not being issued reliably.
    

Local fix

  • Correct the application so that each CONTROL DISPLAY SAVE is
    balanced with a single matching CONTROL DISPLAY RESTORE.

    *                      services.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    Application invokes CONTROL DISPLAY SAVE and RESTORE. However
    the calls are not paired - extra RESTORE calls are made.
    ISPF restores a display environment not associated with table
    operations and a null pointer is referenced.
    

Problem conclusion

  • ISPF is changed to use an extra indicator to identify
    application use of CONTROL DISPLAY SAVE/RESTORE to distinguish
    from ISPF internal calls. The application is prevented from
    restoring an invalid environment.
