Issue/Introduction

Endevor Web Services started task WSEWSSTC is abending with this shown on the Health check.

ENF (CAISPAWN) tried to spawn Endevor STC 'WSEWSSTC', but the STC abended or had a JCL error during initialization.

 

WSEWSSTC OUTPUT showing abend U0400 in program BC1PAFSM after:
ENSRVATD RETRIEVE TOKEN NAME: #ENDEVOROPTS

Cause

The abend and WTO message occurred during Endevor termination and is not directly related to Web services. It may also occur in a batch job or in ISPF.
Endevor is trying to delete a 'name/token' pair which is supposed to be created during initialization. Something happens trying to find it to delete it and the abend arises.

Related article #ENDEVOROPTS and ABEND=U0400 where root cause was a problem with C1DEFLTS table
Testing the batch JCL from the article with same STEPLIB/CONLIB as the WSEWSSTC the user encountered the same abend.
In this case an incorrect "default" version of the C1DEFLTS member was being picked from a library in the STEPLIB

Resolution

Add correct library to STEPLIB to pick up the correct C1DEFLTS member.
