If you are using any of the following Java versions under z/OS, SAS errors might occur:

• Java 1.6.0.1 SR6 and later
• Java 1.6.0.0 SR14 and later
• Java 1.7.0.0 SR5 and later
• Java 1.7.1 initial release and later

Changes that were introduced in those service refreshes cause the errors. Reported errors include the following:

ERROR: shmat() failed in Java extension: rc -1 errno 124.

To circumvent issues, add the following lines to your high-level-qualifier.CONFIG(SITE) data set:

JREOPTIONS=(                                                    
 -Djava.lang.ClassLoader.lazyInitialization=false )
