Issue/Introduction

Abend S0C1, S0C4 or S0C6 if CONPARMX tries to process a null value from the PARMSDEF file. The problem surfaces with a TEST PARM of:

WITHOUT = '' 
WITH = ' '   

Note that the WITHOUT line does not have anything between the quotes. The WITH line has a blank between the quotes.

Running this works fine:

//TRYIT    EXEC PGM=CONPARMX,                      
//  PARM='WITH,(),$$$$DFLT,LBXA,TEST,(),Y,Y'    

Running this gets an abend:

//TRYIT    EXEC PGM=CONPARMX,                      
//  PARM='WITHOUT,(),$$$$DFLT,LBXA,TEST,(),Y,Y'    

 

Environment

Release:  Endevor V18.0 and V18.1

Resolution

This was corrected by PTF LU01305 (V18.0) and SO15142 (V18.1).

V19.0 would include this fix as part of the base product.
