APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • It is possible that the memory allocated for the Accounting
    Origin field of the SMF 117 record contains old data from an
    earlier allocation. We do not initialise this storage before
    copying
    the current value to the buffer and as a result, this field
    can end up with unwanted trailing data up to the length of the
    buffer.
