PM91831: ABENDU3301 RUNNING FAST PATH ADVANCED TOOL WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF AN AREA

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A U3301 occurs running FPA when trying to increase the size
  of an area.  Also the following error message is received:
    HFPT3301E ERROR IN CALL TO RANDOMIZER: KDB486S0, IN AREA NO:
              3, AREANAME: DAFE00
    HFPT3301E - RETURN CODE: 7
  FPA is not properly setting the DMACDMCB in the DMAC that the
  randomizer refers to, causing the abend and MSGHFPT3301E.
  The DMACDMCB is being set to x'00000000' therefore the DMCB
  cannot be accessed. This causes the randomizer to get the
  RC=07 which leads to the abend.
  
  Keywords: return code 7 DBDNAME zeros

  ****************************************************************
  1. When trying to increase the size of an area, the randomizer
  is called. The randomizer traces the pointers to refer DMCBNAME
  in DMCB from MRMB address set in the parameter list. Because
  DMACDMCB address in DMAC is null, the randomizer can't access
  to DMCB and returns non-zero rc.
  2. TOT #OCCS for SDEP segments in DEDB AREA ANALYSYS, SEGMENT
  PLACEMENT ANALYSIS report includes SDEP deleted segments
  counts.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. FPA sets the DMCB address to DMACDMCB in DMAC.
  2. FPA Analyze and FPO OPC with FULLSTEP=YES show SDEP segment
  counts in the SEGMENT PLACEMENT ANALYSIS section in DEDB AREA
  Analysis report. The SDEP segments count should be shown for
  only SDEP valid segments by subtracting SDEP deleted segment
  counts.
