CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception

hi All,

I am facing a weird problem.

I changed two programs, which in production, are run using CAF (call attach facility).

One of the program is abending with SOC4 with error message "CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4)". This problem occurs when we run it via JCL and proc (pgm is run with CAF in proc), but I am not facing this issue when the whole of Proc is copied in JCL.

Other program is running fine in JCL and proc setting.

Can anybody please help. My program has internal table and language is cobol. Please let me know if you need more information.

If you have something which didn't abend before, then you make a change, and it abends, it is somehting to do with the change :-)

Have you located where it abends?

Hi Bill,

I would like emphasis that, program is running fine in test region and in production when run through JCL (all the proc statmenets are copied in JCL). Abend occurs only when we try to run it via proc, I smell something fishy the way its called in proc. i.e. CAF. We use Endevor for Version controlling.

Any pointers would be helpful.

well...
did You care to look at the expanded jcl when using the PROC and note the differences from corresponding one using the inlined jcl statements ???

most probably some unwanted library got in the way because of some unnoticed PROC parm !

Hello,

As Bill mentioned before - what was changed (intentionally or un-intentionally)?

Do as Enrico suggests and review the expanded JCL.
