Issue/Introduction

 

The IDMSRPTS utility is ending with a 4093 abend code.

This is an LE abend and internally, IDMSRPTS is a batch COBOL program.

This error, and the solution described here, can apply to any COBOL program. 

Environment

Release : All supported releases.
Component : CA IDMS

Cause

Region size on the EXEC parm is too small, or the SCEERUN loadlib is missing from STEPLIB.

Resolution

Increase the region to REGION=0M, or add SCEERUN to STEPLIB.

Note this can be relevant to any cobol program but has been seen often for IDMSRPTS.
