OA56747: ERB3RPRJ ABEND0C4 OR LOOPING/HUNG TSO USER TRYING TO ACCESS THE RMF MON III DELAYJ REPORT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using RMF Monitor III DELAYJ report an abend0c4 may occur
  when viewing a job that has processor delays.  The abend is due
  to an incorrect ASIG3PTR pointer  OA54915 changed the length
  of the ASIG3 entry, but ERB3RPRJ was not included in the PTF.
  ERB3RPRJ is calculating the ASIG3PTR incorrectly based on the
  previous length of x'470' instead of the new length of x'4A0'.
  
  PE Information:
  Users Affected:
  HRM77A0 with PTF UA97694
  HRM77B0 with PTF UA97695
  
  User Impact:  APAR OA54915 is a new function APAR that
  changed the size of a control block, but not all modules picked
  up the change.  Viewing RMF Monitor III reports that include
  jobs with processor delays may incur abend0c4 or hang.
  
  ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS: The incorrect ASIG3 pointers may show as
  high CPU or hung TSO user trying to access an RMF MON III DELAYJ
  report. SYSTRACE entries of a dump will point to ERB3RPRJ at a
  point where the ASIG3 control blocks are being accessed.
  

Local fix

• Do not apply OA54915, or do not view Monitor III reports with
  address space processor delay information.

  RMF Monitor III:
  When using RMF Monitor III DELAYJ report an abend0c4 may occur
  when viewing a job that has processor delays. Another symptom
  is a loop/hang condition of the TSO Monitor III reporter
  session after invocation of RMF Monitor III DELAYJ report.
  The problem occurs since module ERB3RPRJ uses an old version of
  the ERBASIG3 macro.
  Affected RMF releases: z/OS-2.2 and z/OS-2.3
  

Problem conclusion

• With this APAR, module ERB3RPRJ is re-compiled with correct
  version of ERBASIG3 macro
