Does anybody know if there is some documented procedure to understand
what is the COBOL program or COBOL CSECT that damage heap memory and
cause ABEND U4038 with message
"CEE0802C: Heap storage control information was damaged."?

Thanx.

What is the setting of your TERMTHDACT runtime option? It should be one of:
TRACE, DUMP, UADUMP or UATRACE. If not, try rerunning with one of those options
and tell us what you get.

I'm not sure about your environment (CICS/Batch/CBLOPTS-settings,LE-version)

You may turn on the HeapCheck-Option for this program via PARM
/HEAPCHK=(ON)

I may be going brain dead but doesn't a U4038 mean that the FD in a program
doesn't match the DCB LRECL in a file? Or you're missing a DD statement (which
of course it won't match the DCB because there isn't any) - or is that a U4035?
Don't remember anything about heap.

(I know - that helps a heap).

My Environment is IMS. I tryed to set HEAPCHK(ON) using "STEPLIB"
but I still have no differences (DUMP information are the same).
I'm not able to read the dump information.
Thanx.

I'm sorry it was an LE ABEND U4039.

The Language Environment for MVS and VM V1R5 bookshelf at
http://www.s390.ibm.com:80/bookmgr-cgi/bookmgr.cmd/Shelves/CEE5S004

gives

"The default abnormal termination exits, CEEBDATX (for batch) and CEECDATX (for
CICS), are now automatically linked in at install time. These exits issue abend 4039
when an unhandled condition of severity 2 or greater occurs."

Does this help?

I'm not an IMS-specalist.

I would guess your HEAPCHK setting was not in use. To make
sure just add RPTOPT(ON) to your CEEUOPT/CEEROPT
This will tell which options in effect but I don't know where (no IMS
know-how)

I tryed with HEAPCHK(ON) but I had the same information
on dump as before. HEAPCHK seems do not help me.

In this case try to get a SYSUDUMP and use the IPCS LEDATA to check
which HEAP is corrupted. Maybe the data in the corrupted data will help
