Environment
Release: PEXEC.00200-5.2-Panexec

Cause
PANEXEC provides a module called PANEACCS that provides a standard interface to users and vendors, such as ABEND-AID, who need read-only access to PANEXEC elements. Two parameters are passed. The first parameter is the function. The second parameter is a parameter list pointer. ABEND-AID called PANEACCS and requested the AOPEN function. PANEACCS program expects all function requests to result in either a return code of zero or a return code of 12. Any other return code would result in the PE999 PANEXEC INTERNAL ERROR message followed by a PANDIAG message displaying the involving module, offset within that module, and the actual return code causing the PE999 error message. In this case it was a return code of 4 occurring on an SVC X’12’ which is either a BLDL or a FIND. The customer is using an unsupported 5.2 release of PANEXEC. The current PANEXEC 5.3 release has eliminated the BLDL or FIND code.
The S0C4 abend occurred in the XDIAGRUN program. The XDIAGRUN program is statically linked to the PANEACCS module. The PANEACCS module runs in 24 AMODE. The XDIAGRUN program try to access the calling’s calling program’s SAVEAREA which resides above the line, causing the S0C4. However, even if that SAVEAREA address resides below the line, an error trying to extract register 15’s address would have caused the ABEND. The requested SAVEAREA was formatted for an 8 byte register address, that is, addresses that can be used for AMODE 64 or above the bar. These SAVEAREAs would have a literal of F4SA, F7SA, F8SA, etc at offset 4 of the SAVEAREA. The XDIAGRUN program expected register 15’s address to reside at offset X’10’. However, with the extended SAVEAREA format, register 15’s address resides now at offset X’14’.

Resolution
Upgrade to PANEXEC 5.3C. The current PANEXEC 5.3C release has eliminated the BLDL or FIND code.
