CICSIA CIUUPDB STEP045 SORT fails with 0C4 in VIOOPX31

Question & Answer

Question

Why is jobstep STEP045 failing in the SORT of the CIUINT6 VSAM collector data set with an abend S0C4 when I run the IBM CICS Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS (CICS IA) supplied CIUUPDB JCL from SCIUSAMP?

A SYSMDUMP shows the 0C4 in module VIOOPX31 (Copyright Emc Corp.) at offset x'6488'

These are the message I receive when the job fails:

Answer

You would need to contact the vendor that owns module VIOOPX31 to determine why the 0C4 occurs.

Other users suggested a workaround of specifying the following DD statement in the failing jobstep (STEP045) to bypass the VIO product from intercepting OPEN requests.

 //VIOCTL   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SUPPRESS,AMP='AMORG',
 //            VOL=REF=SYS1.LINKLIB
