An abend 0C4 error might occur when you try to share connections with multiple librefs with the DB2 engine when running the SAS® system in a z/OS operating environment. The error might look similar to the following:
ERROR: System abend 0C4 occurred in module SASHOST function db2m_compare_conn_options at offset E56D64. ERROR: Traceback will be attempted... NOTE: Traceback called NOTE: Module Function Offset Line NOTE: -------- -------- ------ ---- NOTE: SASXDBI DBICON 000B78 0 NOTE: SASXDBI YHELASG 000808 0 NOTE: SASYH YYHLASN 0002F8 0 NOTE: SASYH YHLASN2 000AC4 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YTLIBF 000A38 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YASANY 000632 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YASANY2 000142 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YTTKNX 001E6E 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YALEXEC 001F96 0 NOTE: SASXSHEL YALINLN 000516 0

- Explicitly list the DB2 subsystem using the SSID= option
- Or use the SQL_FUNCTIONS=ALL option in each of the LIBNAME statements
