ICE185A 0 AN S073 ABEND WAS ISSUED BY DFSORT, ANOTHER PROGRAM OR AN EXIT (PHASE S 1)
From the z/OS MVS System Codes manual:
073
Explanation: Supervisor control detected an error
while processing a SETLOCK OBTAIN or SETLOCK
RELEASE macro. The hexadecimal reason code in
register 15 explains the error:
08 The system detected a hierarchy violation.
a. If a SETLOCK OBTAIN macro was being
processed, one of the following occurred:
– The requested lock was lower in the
locking hierarchy than the locks currently
held.
– Another lock of the same type was
already held.
– A CMS lock was requested, but a local
lock was not held.
– A local or CML lock was requested
unconditionally, but the PSASUPER field
was nonzero.
b. If a SETLOCK RELEASE macro was being
processed, one of the following occurred:
– A local lock was specified while a CMS
lock was still held.
– All CMS locks were specified, but not all
CMS locks were held.
A restart of the failed step tends to get the job run clean.
Query: From past experiences with this abend, have come to understand that this is one random customer. It'd be great if someone can kindly help me understand it better. Tried recreating it to get a better understanding, but have failed thus far be it in this case or a different COBOL/or-otherwise program, primarily because I am unable to understand what really went wrong.
Also, in case of this DFSORT failure if someone can kindly point me to an eyecatcher, maybe something to do with MO* or maybe someother storage!?
Any pointers towards what can be done to avoid this abend are really appreciated.
Thank you.
