• Closed as program error.

Error description

• SMSVSAM ABEND0F8 RC4 in IDA019C2 at offset x'2F0' at RMID
  UA92399 when called in SRB mode.

Local fix

• If using NETMASTER run with XM=TASK in the RUNSYSIN parameter.
  Making this change may move task processing back to a regular
  CP, which may impact customer MIPS usage.

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All VSAM RLS users who run tasks in SRB mode                 *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * While in SRB mode, if a SHOWCB command is issued, an         *
  * ABEND0F8 RC4 will occur out of IDA019C2 as a result of a     *
  * GETMAIN failing.                                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Apply PTF                                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  When a user issued a SHOWCB against a data set open for RLS,
  IDA019C1 tried to issue a PC, calling IDA019C2 to establish an
  ESTAE and call RLS. Doing this requires a GETMAIN and FREEMAIN
  to be called for the ESTAE parameters which cannot be done under
  an SRB. Therefore, when IDA019C1 tried to issue a PC while in
  SRB mode, the GETMAIN in IDA019C2 failed and returned an
  ABEND0F8 RC4.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code was changed such that an ESTAE will not be set up and a
  GETMAIN/FREEMAIN will not be called if IDA019C2 is called while
  in SRB mode.
