Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL V5 and later       *
  *                 releases running programs that use           *
  *                 CEEFETCH/CEERELES to fetch and release COBOL *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: S0C1 abend when the fetched             *
  *                      program is called.                      *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When a COBOL program is fetched
  by CEEFETCH, and not called, and then released (by CEERELES),
  some internal cached information about the program may not be
  correct. This happens only if the program is never called and
  then released.
  Later if the program is fetched again, the function descriptor
  returned by CEEFETCH may not be correct. When the COBOL program
  is called by this function descriptor, s0C1 abend occurs.

Problem conclusion

• The COBOL runtime library is fixed to handle
  fetch and release correctly.
