Hi,

I have compiled a program in Endevor and it got compiled successfully.When ran the job,it is abending with S106.

Message:
IEW4000I FETCH FOR MODULE FSGLNPGM FROM DDNAME JOBLIB FAILED BECAUSE INSUFFICIENT STORAGE WAS AVAILABLE.
CSV031I LIBRARY ACCESS FAILED FOR MODULE FSGLNPGM, RETURN CODE 24, REASON CODE 26080021, DDNAME JOBLIB
CSV028I ABEND106-0C

I am currently using, REGION=0M.I tried ruinning the job by changin the parameters 4M- 16M, but no luck.

Before, i uploaded the component to enedevor from my personal PDS, i have compressed my PDS since it ran out of space.

Please help.

Thanks,
Satya

Maybe you've changed the REGION in your JOB card but there is another REGION in your EXEC PGM card ?

Is program FSGLNPGM 24-bit or 31-bit? What language is it written in? Is it a new program or one you are modifying? If you modified it, what did you change about the program?

Compressing the PDS has no bearing on this error.

Endevor has no bearing on this error.

If the program doesn't work with REGION=0M, it sure is not going to run with REGION=4M, ... REGION=16M -- 0M is shorthand for asking for all the available memory.

The system is attempting to fetch the program from the JOBLIB and does not have enough memory (either below the line or above the line). If the program is low on below the line memory, you might be able to get it to run by moving it above the line. If the program is running out of above the line memory, you need to contact your site support group to determine if there are system exits limiting the amount of memory your program can get, and if so how to get more memory.

Hi Robert,

When i looked at compilation dump, i see that AMODE and RMODE are unspecified under processing options and under save module attributes AMODE=ANY and RMODE=24.

This program is written in COBOL.My intention was to make some changes to the existing progran but I didn't want to override the exisiting program.So i have cut & paste the code from Endevor into my personal PDS member with a different name and worked on it.

I have added a table for processing and some more changes.Does program changes(Business logic) affect this abend?

How do we know if the program is running above the line/below the line memory?

Thanks,
Satya

RMODE 24 means the program is running (at least residing) below the line. Probably the compile option is DATA(31) since you're getting AMODE ANY. Recompile the program with AMODE(31),RMODE(ANY) in the linkage editor (binder) step.

Check the COBOL data map to see how much memory your program is using in WORKING-STORAGE -- while the theoretical limit below the line is 16 megabytes, the practical limit depends upon the site and what data the systems programmer have placed where; typically 9 to 10 megabytes is all you can get below the line. If your data map says you need more than this, you'll have to run above the line.

Hi,

The table occurs 999 times and has a record of 559 bytes.There is already a table with the same size in the program.

Thanks,
Satya.

Hello,

Why are 2 of these tables needed? What if yet another is needed?

Even if you get this running, what happens when the number of entries or the number of tables increase?

Maybe it would be good to review the design and even if it takes a bit of work, use a better inplementation.

I may be reading too mucn into what has been posted (or has not been posted), but it sounds like things are being implemented in the "least programmer effort" way rather than a solid implemtntation.

Hello Dick,

This is an exisiting program which is not written with standards, now the requirement demanding us to nclude the changes.I have lowered no in the occurs clause for new table and the program has executed successfully.

Shouldn't this be caught in compilation itself?It was a long time ago, i ran into size issue in working storage section and if i remember it correctly the program didn't make it through compilation.

I totally agree with your comments.We just not have time/effort at this time to overhaul the program.

Thanks everybody for your inputs.

Satya.
