  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: User-allocated variables were being     *
  *                      allocated above the line even when      *
  *                      HEAP(,,BELOW) was specified.            *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF for this APAR.                 *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Allocations for application program data were being done above
  the line even though HEAP(,,BELOW) was specified. Specifying
  ANYHEAP(,,BELOW) produced the expected results, but ANYHEAP is
  not meant for application program data.
  
  Additional symptom: Performance degradation may occur due to
  excessive getmains from ANYHEAP.
  

Problem conclusion

• The incorrect heap id was being used for user heap storage.
  The Enterprise PL/I run-time library has been modified to use
  the proper heap id for application program data allocations.
  

Temporary fix

Comments

• Added additional symptom.  03/12/2014
