Error description

  • Debugging a COBOL application with the IBM Debug for z/OS
v15.0.2, may result in an abend with Program Check in EQA00STO.
The abend occurs when the debugger finds invalid data in the
file specified by TEST(SEP(DSNAME)) for a Cobol 6.2+ program
that is called dynamically. Here is the program check that can
be observed in the joblog:
+EQA9999E -Program Check at EQA00STO+00001172

Message EQA9981I can also be seen before the abend as shown
below:
+EQA9981I - EQA00STO FREE ADDRESS=0, LEN=0007D010
