APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Per PMR-86350,550,000
  
  ================================================================
  FSYTPA00, FSCCOBOL and FSYTPA00 AMODE problem
  
  
  Prerequisites are : IMU V3.2  base tape and the following PTFs:
  
  UK50212 , UK51339, UK56786, UK60387,  UK62729 ,  UK62756,
  UK64529 and UK66901.
  
  Date created: 05/12/2011
  
  Users Affected
   All IMU users of MU V3.2 and prior versions
  
  Problem Description
   Abend S0C4 in FSSCOBOL (CSECT FSMVSUTL)
  
  Problem Summation
   This problem occurs when IMU is invoked from a vendor program
   that has been linked with AMODE(24)or AMODE(ANY).
  
   The problem occurs because IMU's modules are linked with
   AMODE(ANY). When IMU's modules are linked with AMODE(31)
   everything works fine.
  
  Problem Conclusion
   The following IMU modules have been linked with AMODE(31) to
   eliminate the ABEND:
  
    FSCCOBOL
    XXCCOBOL
    FSCASSEM
    FSYTPA00
  
  
  Note:
  
  This APAR is not required for users not experiencing any
  problems with the existing system.
  
  If your current system is running fine, there is no need to
  apply the APAR as you are already executing in AMODE(31).
  
  The above modules will be permanently linked with AMODE(31) in
  a future release of IMU and not in a PTF.
  
  This APAR will allow customers the ability to test and verify
  their programs for AMODE 31 compatibility before it is
  officially released.
  
  The APAR is required for those users who are experiencing
  problems when IMU is invoked from a vendor program such as
  ENDEVOR and other custom software linked with AMODE(24) or
  AMODE(ANY).
  
  After applying the APAR the users, who invoke IMU from a home
  grown program loader, should test at least one job to
  make sure that their loader works fine.
