Problem:
After upgrading CA InterTest for CICS to release 9.1 from 8.5 some of my Enterprise COBOL 4.2 background programs abend with a S0C4.
The CICS region log messages are
DFHSR0622 NYMVDS01 An attempt to overwrite the ERDSA has caused the abend which follows
DFHAP0001 NYMVDS01 An abend (code 0C4/AKEA) has occurred at offset X'FFFFFFFF' in module MVCPYMNT.
After reviewing the dump It appears that CA InterTest for CICS module IN67HOOK is trying to modify LE module IGZCPAC.
Environment:
Z/OS
CICS
Cause:
CA InterTest for CICS r 9.1 is failing due to the PPT entry for IGZCPAC is defined as Language LE370 rather than Assembler.
Resolution:
The client had a second RDO group that was overriding the default IGZCPAC(language assembler) PPT with a language of LE370. The client updated his RDO setup so IGZCPAC would have a language of assembler and recycled CICS. This resolved the problem.
This problem has been added to the CA InterTest release r 10 project as an outstanding item. Release 10 will be an incremental release and is currently in development.
