    FIX: Fix: 3.1A-21

    SYMPTOM:

    An S0C4 abend in BIMRECOV may occur while processing the PCCA control block.


    Starting with z/OS 1.12, the IBM default configuration is to allocate the PCCA control block in 31-bit storage.  

    BIMRECOV runs AMODE 24 and cannot access the control block when this configuration is used.

    Since BIMRECOV does not require BIMOPSMD to obtain the CPU-ID field (PGACPUID), this process can be bypassed.


    This fix bypasses the use of the PCCA control block.


    RESOLUTION: 

    Apply the following zap:
