Error description

  • IBM Explorer for z/OS 3.1.1.18 (zExplorer) or IBM Developer for
    z Systems (IDz) v14.1.7 raises the following error in SYSLOG:

    ADDRESS = 00000802
    
    If language environment parameter ERRCOUNT is used then
    zExplorer process will abend with error:

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: 01.All zExpl and IDz users listing a         *
    *                    partition dataset on 31 bit system.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 01.In IDz 14.1 Users might not be able  *
    *                         to run an operation related to       *
    *                         directory listing of a partition     *
    *                         dataset with the error and forced    *
    *                         to disconnect.                       *
    ****************************************************************
    01.During the directory listing of a partition dataset, when an
       abend occurs due to a closing of an invalid dataset DCB
       handle, a recursive chain of the abend may occur.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01.The condition handler of the partition dataset directory
       listing routine attempts to close the dataset DCB handle
       when it was flagged as opened. In some error listing
       condition, when the DCB handle was not set properly, calling
       close function on it may cause the abend, leading to a
       repeated condition handler routine invocation. Resetting the
       dataset open flag when closing the DCB preventing the
       recursive behavior when the DCB is invalid. This fix does
       not resolve the original issue of the cause for an invalid
       DCB handle.
