Additional Information

Additional Information:

Due to the missing RENT attribute CBRUXVNL was loaded into fetch protected SUBPOOL 251 with Storage Key 8. Since CBRUXVNL is called in PSW KEY 1 the fetch protected Storage with KEY 8 caused the S0C4-4 Abend in CBRUXVNL+02. IPCS STATUS shows:

Symptom             Description

If the module is linked correctly using the above linkage attributes, then it is loaded into SUBPOOL 252 with KEY 0. Since SUBPOOL 252 is not fetch protected it can be accessed in PSW KEY 1 and thus does not result in the S0C4-4 Abend.
