S806 occurred when concatenated Panexec library and PDS/E in STEPLIB

Issue/Introduction

When concatenated Panexec library and PDS/E datasets the S806 ABEND occurred. Is there any solution?

 

Environment

z/OS
Panexec R5.3

 

Resolution

Panexec does not full support PDS/E datasets. When Panexec library and PDS/E datasets were defined in the STEPLIB DD, the module search order changes. If PDS/E datasets is detected, the technique for accessing the datasets is changed, which at this time causes the Panexec library to be skipped from the search process due to design constraints of the implemented PDS/E datasets support. If you do not define PDS/E datasets on the STEPLIB DD, the problem does not occur. Please define the PDS/E datasets in the LINKLIST as the workaround.

Also, attempting to search a PDS/E program object from TASKLIB via ATTACH results in S806 ABEND as Panexec does not support this process.

Additional Information

Panexec supports PDS/E datasets but does not allow concatenation of Panexec libraries and PDS/E datasets.
