7C6

Explanation

The system encountered an error while processing the UCBPIN macro with the UNPIN option. A hexadecimal reason code in register 15 explains the error:
Code
Explanation
01
The PTOKEN supplied as input on the UCBPIN macro request contains incorrect data.
02
The PTOKEN supplied as input on the UCBPIN macro request contains non-addressable data.

System action

The system abnormally ends the task, unless a recovery routine was provided to handle the interruption.

Programmer response

Check your programs for one of the following possible scenarios causing the abend:
  • A task does the following:
    1. Pins a unit control block (UCB) without specifying the LASTING parameter on the UCBPIN macro.
    2. Schedules a service request block (SRB) to unpin the UCB.
    Because the program did not specify LASTING on the UCBPIN macro, the task ends before the SRB is dispatched. When the task ends, the system unpins the UCB. When the SRB subsequently tries to unpin the same UCB, the system issues this abend.
  • The PTOKEN specified on the UCBPIN macro is overlaid or altered by the application program.
