Am facing an IMS U0476 abend, the order pf PCB in the PSB and in the ENTRY statement are same. Is there any thing else i need to look into in order to solve this Abend.

Usually you get this abend when the DLI call specifies a PCB, that is not addressed in the entry statement.

PCB's exists out side the application program.So we need to address them.That's what entry statement does, gets address of PCB's.

Check following things,

In linkage section order of pcb's is not a matter.but your pcb should be there.Entry statement should be in the same order as in PSB.
CAll should have a pcb that was properly addressed in entry as well as present in linkage.

With out seeing the code can't give a specific answer. If it is not any one of these reasons, please share what was the reason.

In addition: on this site there is a manual explaining in detail. To avoid large answers by us my advise is to look into this manual. You can find it in the manuals menue/Messages & Codes/IMS Messages & Codes Vol I Vol II/Chapter IMS Abend Codes. Btw: these are the codes I would like to be inserted in the Abend kit in addition to the status codes and IPI-codes.

@itssreehere: nice to meet a fellow IMS expert here.

Hi Sree,

I have coded in the same way as how you have explained even then I am getting the same abend. I have checked the linkage entry and PSB its all in the same order.

To give you more info about my program, my program is involving both IMS and DB2, since this is the first time am working with DB2 can you please help me in sorting this problem out.

Take a look at your PSB. How many databases are defined? Match them up with your linkage section and your entry statement. Make sure all are in the same sequence. Is this DLI, BMP ?

Hi,

Check have you compiled the program witn IMS = YES in change man.
IF not please set this flag to Yes then compile, your problem will be resolved.
Otherwise remove the ENTRY statment put evrything in the PROCEUDRE DIVISION USING , it should solve your problem.

perideepa - "Otherwise remove the ENTRY statment put evrything in the PROCEUDRE DIVISION USING , it should solve your problem. "

WHAT!!!! This is an IMS forum - to remove those statements would make that program NON_IMS!

Check the linkage section of this program and search the PSB datatset pds for corresponding nams.

I just had this same abend and I resolved it by adding an IO-PCB as the first entry of my PCB's. Hope this works for you!

I was running into similar issue. Order pf PCB in the PSB and in the ENTRY statement were same. For me it worked by removing ENTRY statement and adding PROCEDURE DIVISION USING.

I understand it is old post but replying with my details so that it may help others.

Thanks
