An ABEND in OCEOV Recovery May Lead to an ABEND0C4-11 in DADSM SCRATCH, RENAME, or PARTREL

As described in 87671,L6Q,000 PMR - we have encountered SVC catalog dumps. Upon analysis, they seem to be related to APAR OA33829.
This problem is described in OA33829 which has been closed as a suggestion to be fixed in a future release.
From IBM: there is currently no estimate for when this might be implemented.
Our request is to include a fix for this APAR in the DFSMS product.

    We have faced issue and provided the RFE to refer. It caused one of our critical job to fail. Please provide updates in the upcoming release.

    We definitely have observed this abend0C4 at IGG0290A+12C6 at level FMID/RMID=HDZ2230/UA92006 due to an invalid DEB in the DEBTABLE after a space abend and abend300-08. So a perfect match for APAR OA33829.
    It would be a good idea to include a link to this RFE in the APAR text.
    Instead currently the APAR text mentions "Field requirement MR0124124148".

    We had a TSO id that failed with an 0C4 abend and then the Catalog address space
    abended with a SB1A.

    The storage containing the DEB at 00879048 is
    unavailable:

    00878000.:879FFF. LENGTH(X'2000')--Storage not available

    This looks to be a different flavor of the problem described by OA33829
    where the storage containing the DEB has been freed.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.
