APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• An abend 0c9 may occur in GFTAVMA when running with the ESTIMATE
  keyword. This is related to amount of data being processed by
  GFTAVMA.
   EXTERNAL SYMPTOMS:
  
   SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE=0C9  REASON CODE=00000009
   DATA AT PSW  000394CA - 721D4FE0  8A0450E0  89E012EE
                               !!!!  !!!!
                               CVB    This may vary
  
   In the report output produced prior to the abend you may see
   the following message:
  
   GFTA210W  PRINT VALUE OVERFLOW
   ANALYSIS:
  
   The 0C9 abend occurs when csect GFTAREST is accumulating
   totals. It has been adding these in packed decimal, and is
   attempting to convert to binary to be printed.
  
   In the reported case, the offset in GFTAREST was X'25B0' though
   that may vary.
   VERIFICATION STEPS:
  
   If the ESTIMATE keyword is removed and the job runs
   successfully this is the easiest verification.
   ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:
  
   ABEND0C9, ABENDS0C9
  

Local fix

• BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION:
  
   Remove the ESTIMATE keyword, or reduce the amount of data being
   processed by VMA
