  *                 programs that get an ABEND and then using    *
  *                 IPCS to read the dump.                       *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND while using IPCS: A S0C4 ABEND    *
  *                      is issued when IPCS exit tries to read  *
  *                      a dump where the size of control block  *
  *                      expected by IPCS mismatches what is in  *
  *                      the dump. This occurs when the dump is  *
