PM14523: DFHSM0001 ABEND (CODE 0C4/AKEA) HAS OCCURRED AT OFFSET X'060A' IN MODULE DFHS2SR.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You are getting DFHSM0001 abend (code 0C4/AKEA) has occurred
  at offset X'060A' in module DFHS2SR.  This is occuring in the
  copy_data subroutine.  The program check 0C4 happens on a
  COPY_BELOW_BAR_TO_ABOVE with a BELOW_BAR_SOURCE of all zeros
  (00000000).  So the program check protection exception is
  occuring because the copy storage is from a location of zero.
  The BELOW_BAR_SOURCE is obtained from the ITEM_DATA operand
  of the preceding PUT_CONTAINER.

  ****************************************************************
  An application does an EXEC CICS PUT CONTAINER CHANNEL() FROM
  command specifying a FROM address of 0. CICS checks the passed
  parameters but fails to check for a FROM address of 0.
  When moving the source data to above the bar storage, DFHS2SR
  attempts to read the data from address 0 for a length of x'D8D'
  bytes, but the storage at address x'800' is fetch protected
  resulting in an abend0C4.

Problem conclusion

• For a non-update function, routine check_container_storage in
  DFHEIBAM has been altered to check for a source address of zero
  and issue an AEYF abend if found.
