Error description
When writing to files with the ADVANCING phrase, a library routine charged with tracking the ADVANCING state is used prior to the usual I/O routine. If such a file encounters an out of space condition (abendB37 or abendD37), an IGZ0034W message is attempted as usual, but the additional library routine may confuse the derivation of the incurring module and offset for the message text, leading to an abend0c4. The abend0c4 depends on residual state on the stack, and thus on processing in the application prior to the write incurring the out of space. This may be followed by a CEE3542S Unable to find a valid Entry Point or PPA1 or PPA2 for this DSA, as for efficiency reasons the I/O routines do not fully save registers.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 and later * * releases compiling and running programs * * using QSAM File I/O. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Run time abends with ABEND 0C4 when * * processing ABEND B37 (dataset out of * * space condition) for a COBOL user file * * where the FILE STATUS clause or an * * eligible DECLARATIVE is not defined. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF. * * * **************************************************************** When generating runtime message IGZ034W to report ABEND B37 of a user COBOL file which does not have FILE STATUS clause and does not have an eligible DECLARATIVE defined, the COBOL Runtime accesses the COBOL program name using an incorrect address. This led to ABEND 0C4.
Problem conclusion
The COBOL runtime library has been fixed to process message IGZ034W correctly.
