Environment
Release: All supported releases.
Resolution
If the number of times a program has abended reaches the program check threshold, then that program is automatically varied out-of-service (disabled). This is indicated in the IDMS DC log with a DC027008 message:-
16.15.47 STC18279 +IDMS DC027008 V1 T740508 TASK:MYTASK; PROGRAM MYPROG HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR EXCEEDING THE PROGRAM CHECK THRESHOLD
Simply re-enabling the program with DCMT VARY PROGRAM MYPROG ENABLE does not reset the program check counter. This counter is first reset only when the program is varied NEW COPY and reloaded with:
DCMT VARY PROGRAM MYPROG NEW COPY
