U4038 is usually a Language Environment error. Without more details from the error message, that's about all we can say about it.

Hello,

Can you please be more cryptic ? UXXXX abends are user abends, they can have many reasons behind. You may opt to search on 4038 in this forum or post the SYSOUT of failed JOB.

I didn't get, what does this

hi anuj thanks for reply.
actually the program was present in production as a COBBATCH program
now we need to convert this COBBATCH to CB3BATCH program generally a tool will be available to convert the COBBATCH to CB3BATCH.
but in our application we are not using any tools we are just adding this COBBATCH program as CB3BATCH program(while adding we just mention type as CB3BATCH instead of COBBATCH) to production and they were working fine only.
but this program was giving U4038 error.

You are just adding noise....
the thing about COBBATCH CB3BATCH is irrelevant ...
You got a U4038 abend full stop
look at the execution log to see which component issued the abend
and afterwards at the manuals for the component involved
a user abend is a user abend and is not unique
( the same user abend could be issued by different programs/components)

Hi,

Please post the SYSOUT of failed JOB, with the information so far in hand we can not provide you much (at least I can not).

hi,
the sysout offthis job was

An attempt was made to pass a parameter address above 16 megabytes to AMODE(24) program ARUN335
From compile unit ARUN135 at entry point ARUN135 at compile unit offset +00000F1E at entry offset +00000F1E at address 1D901DEE

brief discription of functionality of a job.
IN this job we will pass a few parameter to the program ARUN135. Based on that parameter the program wil call different program.
generally we hard coded the one of the parameter with the program name ARUN335.so always the program ARUN135 will be call ARUN335 only.

You're passing a 31-bit address to a 24-bit program. To fix this requires either (1) recompile and relink ARUN335 to be a 31-bit program, or (2) change the calling routine to only pass 24-bit addresses to ARUN335.

The typical procedure at many shops which have this AMODE/RMODE problem is to recompile and link all of the CALLED programs first (as AMODE 31, RMODE ANY) then recompile all the CALLING programs. Check with your systems programmers.

hi,
please let me know how we can change the routine to 24 bit.

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 1:26 pm

in your first post you talked about cobbatch and cb3batch...
speak to your support to check the differences between the two

why the change for example
why change the subroutines to 24 bits ( downgrading )
