PK10474: LOOP IN DFHEIP DURING HANDLE ABEND. COBOL AND LE DRIVE_GOTO CONTINUES TO CALL DFHEIP, CAUSING THE LOOP TO OCCUR.

APAR status

• Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description

• An application program establishes a HANDLE ABEND LABEL in case
  there is an abend. LE fails the GOTO with the 'out-of-block'
  flag.  Tha application program suffers a program check and CICS
  proceeds with an abendASRA.  Somewhere either prior to the
  program check or during a call to LE after the program check,
  CEECGSTR performs a getmain, control comes back to CICS and the
  processing of the abendASRA continues.
  .
  Control goes to DFHEIP (EICCPC42), where it figures out that
  there is an active HANDLE ABEND.  Since the application program
  is COBOL and LE, the DFHLILIM GOTO and DRIVE_GOTO calls near
  label EICCLBY5 are done. The DRIVE_GOTO calls LE but that
  returns back into DFHEIP with the 'out-of-block' flag set.

Comments

• This APAR is being closed with a code of RET/AU. This closing
  indicates that the Change Team has been unable to test the
  proposed fix for this APAR and that no Customer was able to test
  the fix and provide feedback within a reasonable amount of time.
  
  To ensure that only high quality fixes are distributed to all
  Customers, we require every fix to be tested either internally
  or at a Customer site which is experiencing the problem. This
  will minimize any exposure to a possible PTF error which could
  later be more detrimental to the Customer.
  
  The APAR fix is available upon application to the Change Team
  via PMR. Once the fix has been satisfactorily tested by a
  Customer experiencing the reported problem, the Change Team will
  accept a NO-DOC APAR (which must refer to this returned APAR) in
  order to provide the appropriate PTFs.
  
  If the fix does not correct the reported problem, please contact
  the Change Team via PMR with full details of the failure.
