  ****************************************************************
  An LAL008 abend occurs during execution of a guest diagnose
  x'2C4' instruction due to a dirty high half of a register used
  to hold the input guest buffer address.  The unexpected data
  caused the translation and locking of the guest buffer to
  fail and the recovery of that failure to attempt to unlock a
  guest page that was never locked.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code to translate and lock the input buffer address was
  updated to ensure the registers used were cleared of any
  residual data that may have existed before attempting to process
  the input data buffer.
