Error description
In IBM Developer for z/OS (IDz) v15.0.2, using the Dynamic Test Runner for recording a QSAM COBOL batch file results in abend S878. Here is an example of the abend that can be found in the joblog: CEE3250C The system or user abend S878Â Â R=00000014 was issued. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â From compile unit BZUZFIOP at entry point BZUZFIOP at compile unit offset +000003F6 at entry offset +000003F6 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â at address 000393F6.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users recording QSAM I/O with COBOL * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Recording QSAM I/O of fixed record * * length files results in a S878 abend * **************************************************************** QSAM files defined with fixed-length records were being recorded as though they were variable-length. This resulted in the first 4 bytes of the record being interpreted as a length, which could result in negative values being used for GETMAIN requests, leading to S878 abends.
Problem conclusion
The QSAM file I/O recording logic is changed to more accurately determine whether a data set contains fixed-length or variable-length records.
