Problem Note 7854: Running PROC DB2UTIL may cause a S0C4 abend
Executing PROC DB2UTIL may result in a S0C4 abend and an error message
reporting that a variable is not on the SAS data set. The variable
being referenced in the error message is not a real variable name and
will be garbage.
This problem is not predictable. Running the same code in succession
may cause one to fail while the others work. The "missing" variable in
the error and the function where the error occurred may differ from time
to time. Some of the functions that have been seen are YVPUTI, WGOPEN,
DBLINIT, and VMRHEAP. The basic error will appear as the following:
ERROR: Variable Q....... is not on file WORK.UPDROWS.
ERROR: System abend 0C4 occurred in function YVPUTI at offset 00004E.
ERROR: Traceback will be attempted...
ERROR: Function offset
ERROR: -------- ------
ERROR: .J .. .~ 000754
ERROR: SASDB2UT 0000FA
There is not any guaranteed solution. Sometimes changing the
order/spacing of the code can cause the problem to disappear.
