Hello to the list, Over the last couple of days I have experienced S0F4 abends on two separate PDSE, which are used for similar purposes.
Diagnostic information and the DFSMSdfp Diagnostic Reference manual indicate Logical File Structure, Return Code 20. The Reason Code is not in the popular list but that may not be important at this stage. The temporary bypass has been to migrate the contents, CICS Command Program source to PDS rather than PDSE. The directory appears to be intact, both ISPF 3.4 and IEPTPCH show what I would expect. IEBPTPCH of the library fails "Wrong length record" when it gets to a particular source member. If I use IEBPTPCH to print the member as a sequential file, but with BLKSIZE=32760,RECFM=U on SYSUT1, I get the first block of data and then it falls over ""Wrong length record". It occurs to me that if PDSE internal structure is re-using the 4K pages then the contents of a member may not be contiguous as it is in a PDS, and therefore some internal chaining is required, and it is likely to be this which is causing the problem. My question to the list is; has anybody else experienced this type of problem, and if yes did that experience include the prospect of user error rather than system error. I should add that the system is z/OS 1.6.
