Hi All,

I am trying to help the python ibmdb team help me solve an S0C4 abend issue 
with (we think maybe) their code on the IBM Zxplore LPAR by generating an 
SVCDUMP that the ibmdb team could analyze.  The admins at Zxplore have tried a 
couple of times to set a SLIP to catch the S0C4 abend that I am getting when 
using one of the ibmdb functions, but it keeps missing catching the abend.

Here is the "usual" setup to duplicate the abend:

1.      USS logon from ssh on a Windows box at my home into the Zxplore system. 
 Zxplore runs the bash shell as your default shell.
2.      Execute "python3 db_fetch_both_err-2.py"
3.      This reliably generates a S0C4 abend deep inside the python runtime 
code in something named TOROLABA the first time the python script tries to use 
the ibmdb function "fetch_both(...)".

I can supply both a copy of the python script and the exact text of the abend 
messages if it helps you to help me, but the real question we have is how 
should a SLIP trap be set up to catch a S0C4 abend in a forked USS address 
space?  The only dump that seems to be generated is a CEEDUMP in my $HOME 
directory on Zxplore.

I have also tried a JCL executing BPXBATCH to run the exact same python script, 
and that also does not trigger the SLIP they recently set to match the JOB name 
of that JCL.  SHAREAS=MUST does not work with the bash shell, so the python 
process is (I believe) being forked to a new AS by BPXBATCH.

Any and all assistance to help us catch this abend and generate the SVCDUMP 
that the ibmdb team have requested to help solve the root cause would be much 
appreciated.

Peter
