Issue/Introduction

When moving from one stage to another. As part of the Endevor delete processor,  the Broadcom Intertest program IN25UTIL run to delete  Intertest Symbols. 

The program IN25UTIL fails on a S878-10 with the messages as follows:

BC1PSCRN: OPEN (F)ESTAE Routine Entered                             
IEF170I 4 ABBSGZZ8 BC1PSCRN: OPEN (F)ESTAE Routine Entered          
IEA705I ERROR DURING GETMAIN SYS CODE = 878-10 MYBATCH NDVRBAT 00  

 

 

Environment

All supported 

 

Resolution

This is a region size issue.

First try increasing the region size(for example to 0M). Remember the region size coded on the STEP over rides that of the JOBCARD. 

If this doesn't work try removing the AMP parm. 

For example if the job was coded like this:

//MYJOB JOB TEST,'TEST',CLASS=A,      
//  MSGCLASS=T,PRTY=01,NOTIFY=&SYSUID 

....

//NDVRBAT  EXEC PGM=NDVRC1,DYNAMNBR=1500,REGION=4096K,     
//  PARM='C1BM3000'                                        

....

(the processor has)

//DELSYM   EXEC PGM=IN25UTIL                    
//STEPLIB  DD  DSN=&INTLIB,                     
//             DISP=SHR                         
//PROTSYM  DD  DSN=&PROTSYM,                    
//             DISP=SHR,AMP=('RMODE31=ALL')     
//MESSAGE  DD  SYSOUT=&SYSOUT                   
//CARDS    DD  *                                
PASSWORD=12345678                               
DELETE=&C1ELEMENT                               
/*                                              

 

1) Change the job card to(add REGION=0M)          

//MYJOB JOB TEST,'TEST',REGION=0M,CLASS=A,      
//  MSGCLASS=T,PRTY=01,NOTIFY=&SYSUID  

and            

remove REGION=4096K, from the Endevor step as this will override the region in the job card.

2) If the above doesn't work remove  AMP=('RMODE31=ALL')  from the processor step in this case DELSYM. 

The AMP=('RMODE31=ALL') parm puts  "Control blocks and buffers above the line". This is not a require parm. This parm improves performance.
