APAR status

  • Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

  • There is a session coming down between an application and a
    Telnet LU. VTAM receives an UNBIND and tries to update the
    RAP_TN_FMCB field with an FMCB Pointer. However VTAM is no
    longer pointing to the RAP but is pointing into the module
    ISTCPCTI and overlaying code with an FMCB pointer. In this case
    the overlay is in ISTCPCIT. Later ISTCPCIT abends.
    

Local fix

  • Code NOSHAREACB or let it default to NOSHAREACB in the TELNET
    profile.

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The problem may be summarized as follows:
    1. SHAREACB is coded in the Telnet profile
    2. There is a subarea connection between the
       VTAM where Telnet resides and the VTAM
       where the PLU application resides.
    3. A Telnet client requests a session with
       the PLU application.
    4. Later, when the session goes down, a timing
       condition occurs that causes the RDTE to not
       be found and therefore not updated.
    5. After not finding the RDTE, the RDTE will still
       point to an FMCB.  Also, some storage will be
       overwritten.
    6. If the storage overwritten is a module such as
       ISTCPCIT, it may abend the next time it runs.
    7. Later, when VTAM is shut down with Z NET,QUICK,
       ABEND0C4 in ISTTSCWU may occur.
