NRS6290: U146 in VSE Partition using TOPSECRET Interface

Commentary

Thursday, November 20, 2003 at 01:23:17 am    After implementation of VSE Director/TopSecret interface, the Director Cancelled with a U146 abend. Director is operating in a 8MB Partition (U146 suggests a GETVIS failure of some sort). Dump being sent forward via Email.

Thursday, November 20, 2003 at 02:43:58 am    Dump shows .5 MB in the TP processing pool, but 5.3MB in the MX Pool. Large volumes of the MX Pool GSA elements contain the marking identifier of TCPLV4L4, which I believe is the marker for the TSS Interface point. There\'s also a lot of TSS Error messages sitting in MX pool. Seems to me that the TSS Interface code (I think it\'s implemented as a TNDEXT19) isn\'t TNDFREEing something it should. I\'ll see about getting a copy of the Exit for diagnosis.

Friday, November 21, 2003 at 01:46:00 am    EXT19 got here and, sure enough, there was a TNDFREE that released the work area that was commented out (asterisk in column 1 of the source). Suggested to the client that he remove the asterisk, re-assemble and link the exit and then restart Director. I'm betting the problem will disappear.
