Local fix

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Enterprise PL/I users attempting to allocate *
    *                 a large piece of storage which may cause the *
    *                 short on storage condition to be raised.     *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Protection exception with ONCODE=8094   *
    *                      occurred while accessing a large piece  *
    *                      of dynamically allocated storage after  *
    *                      applying the PTFs of APAR PM78523.      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    *                                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The PL/I runtime library doesn't raise the storage condition
    correctly during the dynamic allocation process. Later when
    the user code attempts to access the bad allocated storage
    address, it will cause the Protection exception with
    ONCODE=8094.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The PL/I runtime library routine has been changed to correctly
    raise the storage condition when there is not enough heap
    storage to complete an allocation.
