Error description
When running ISRSUPC (ISPF Super Compare) in batch and when NEWDD and/or OLDD contains more than one file (concatenation) and when one of the files in the concatenation is not initialized (e.g. BLKSIZE=0 ...), we receive message IEC141I 013-34 (or IEC141I 013-60) followed by an S0C4. The IEC141I messages seem ok because the file is not initialized. However, the S0C4 abend is not expected.
Local fix
Don't use uninitialized files
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of SuperC Utility from HLASM Toolkit * * for z/OS, z/VM and z/VSE * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If SuperC was processing a * * concatenation of sequential data sets * * and the second or subsequent data set * * was uninitialized, this (correctly) * * caused an abend 013 during EOV * * processing with message IEC161I 013-34, * * but this was immediately followed by an * * 0C4 in SuperC. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If an abend occurred during EOV processing, when switching from reading one concatenated data set to the next, the DCB abend exit provided by SuperC trapped and handled the abend, with the result that EOV processing closed the DCB. The code which was reading the data set failed to allow for this possibility, and tried to read the next record from a closed DCB, causing an 0C4 abend.
Problem conclusion
SuperC input processing logic has been modified to check whether the DCB is still open after reading each record. If not, it now sets the same indicators as for an I/O error, which will cause SuperC to terminate with return code 16 and an appropriate message, for example as follows: ASMF059E A SYNAD ERROR INTERCEPT ON THE NEW-FILE/DATA SET IS AN I/O ERROR, CONCATENATION-ORDERING OR ATTRIBUTE CONFLICT.
