Re: RE: webfacing run failure -- WDSCI-L

The problem is "Pointer not set for location referenced" the next message just reports that this one happened. Take F1 on this message, then F9 to see what programs/procedures are involved. If they are IBM, call support. If one of yours, it's often indicative that a parameter was not passed. Other things can cause this, as well.

This does not necessarily have anything to do with PTFs. It means that some program was trying to use a variable that was not initialized or that does not really exist, or more specifically, that a pointer exists that has not been assigned a memory address. The easiest way for this to happen is not to pass a parameter that is pass by reference (pointer).

Any information in the job logs of the QQF* job or the webfacing server
jobs?

In the job QQFVTSVR, I see the following in the job log:
Vary on completed for device QQF0B06670.
Pointer not set for location referenced.
Internal system error occurred in program QTVSREAD.
Vary off completed for device QQF0B06670.

When I do a WRKACTJOB JOB(QQF*) I have three jobs:
 QQFVTSVR     QUSER       BCI      .0  PGM-QQFVTSVR     DEQW
 QQFVTSVR     QUSER       BCI      .0  PGM-QQFVTSVR     DEQW
 QQFWFSVR     QUSER       BCI      .0  PGM-QQFWFSVR     TIMW

Does the message related to QTVSREAD point to a missing PTF?  The
explanation (when I press F1 on the Internal System Error line, the system
reports:

 Message . . . . :   Internal system error occurred in program QTVSREAD.
 Cause . . . . . :   An internal error has occurred in program QTVSREAD. The
   internal error data is UNEXPECTED EXCEPTION. It is an APAR condition.
 Recovery  . . . :   Report the problem using the ANZPRB command.
 Technical description . . . . . . . . :   This message is sent when an
   internal error has occurred in a VTM/FM XPF module.  It is an APAR
   condition. It usually means some unexpected leg of an IF-THEN-ELSE or a
   SELECT OTHERWISE was run because of an internal error or value.
