In the SAS^® 9.4M6 (TS1M6) and SAS^® 9.4M7 (TS1M7) releases on the z/OS operating system, a SAS/CONNECT spawner fails with a S0C4-10 abend. This problem occurs when the following container hot fixes are applied:

• K1P001, which contains the individual hot fixes I8E004, I8E005, and I5V005 and the dependent hot fix K1M001
• K1P002, which contains the individual hot fixes I8E004, I8E005, I5V007, and I9R050 and the dependent hot fix K1M001

Note: You also see the message below in addition to the S0C4-10 abend:

When you execute the ViewRegistry Report (see SAS KB0036131, "Using the ViewRegistry Report and other methods to determine the software releases and hot fixes that are installed"), you see that the individual hot fixes are listed. However, the references to the container hot fixes are not included because the report does not list container hot fixes.

The current workaround is to specify the SAS/CONNECT spawner parameter "-NETENCRYPTALGORITHM xxxxx" in the spawner's //PARMS file.

In the parameter, xxxxx is a valid value, such as SASProprietary. SASProprietary can be used by all sites without any configuration changes.
