Getting an IMS 0476 abend running File Master Plus for IMS

Why am I getting and ABEND- IMS 0476?

Environment

ADFMIM00200-10.0-File Master Plus-for IMS IMS VERSION 13.1 We are using BMP only

       PSBGEN  PSBNAME=DRDNDCDT,LANG=PL/I,CMPAT=YES                     

       END        

What could be the cause of the 0476 abend is perhaps LANG=PL/I in the PSBGEN call. The PCB address gets passed differently if LANG=PL/I. Try to remove that parameter or specify LANG=COBOL. 

One other remark is about the CMPAT=YES setting in that same PSBGEN call. 

 

That parameter is supposed to create a TP PCB under the covers for compatibility with online programs. Either change the CMPAT parameter or try to remove the TP PCB from the PSB. Best regards and good luck,
