Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using * $$ PUN MEM=... for directing Punch Output to
  VSE/AF Sublibrary Member, VSE/POWER may terminate abnormally
  indicated by message 1Q2CI for an Execution RDR task.
  PSW will point to offset x255E in phase IPW$$XJ.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users which are using * $$ PUN MEM=...   *
  *                 redirection.                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VSE/POWER can be abnormally terminated  *
  *                      if * $$ SLI statement is using right    *
  *                      after * $$ PUN MEM=... statement.       *
  *                      Recommendation: (optional field)        *
  ****************************************************************
  VSE/POWER execution reader task analyses * $$ PUN MEM=...
  statement with phase IPW$$XJ and the extracted parameters are
  passed in a work area to the new execution writer task
  designated for punching the data into the AF sublibrary.
  If the next card read by execution reader task is also a JECL
  statement, e.g. * $$ SLI..., it will be processed by IPW$$XJ
  and IPW$$XJ may refer to the parameter work area accessing it
  via the new task.
  On fast processors ( D/T3906 , D/T3907, D/T8561 , D/T8562 )
  the transfer of the work area may not be completed.
  Then VSE/POWER uses an empty work area pointer to address
  storage outside of the partition, which abends VSE/POWER.
  PSW in message 1Q2CI will point to IPW$$XJ at offset x255E.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code in IPW$$XJ will now assure that work area is chained
  immediately to new execution writer task so that it can be
  addressed directly after attaching the task.
