APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • User is doing a FIND ALL during the Browse of a Hogan Unit AIF
    database. Increasing the region size got them around this
    abend, however, insufficient region size should not result in
    a S0C4. The S0C4 is in FMNEDIT6 at offset X'5F92' on a TM
    instruction:  91683035 -- with R3 being bad.
    

Local fix

  • Increasing to a very large TSO logon region size circumvented
    the problem.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: File Manager IMS users                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When in the editor, and using the FIND  *
    *                      command, an abends0C4 or a loop         *
    *                      condition may occur.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    File Manager was incorrectly resetting an internal pointer while
    saving the state of the editor before the Find command, leading
    to invalid storage references which may manifest as either
    an AbendS0c4 or a CPU consuming loop.
    

Problem conclusion

  • File Manager has been updated in order to correctly reset the
    internal pointer allowing the find to complete as expected.
