ABEND S0C4 AFTER DYNAMIC UPGRADE FROM TLMS R12.6 TO R14.0                
                                                                         
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                                     
After a dynamic upgrade from TLMS r12.6 to r14.0, a S0C4 abend           
may occur during WTO SSI processing of a tape mount message.             
This is because of storage being referenced with the new                 
increased length of the CA TLMS Mount_List_Element_Table                 
v/s the length of the r12.6 Mount_List_Element_Table                     
                                                                         
Also during a Dynamic upgrade from TLMS 12.6 to TLMS 14.0,               
it is possible that a X'18' byte overlay could occur if the              
last entry in the TLMS Mount_List_Element_Table is cleared with          
the length defined in R14.0.                                             
                                                                         
SYMPTOMS:
