Summary :
When initiating a startup of an SAP system with kernel release 6.20, the SAPSTART program abruptly stops. The job log for SAPSTART reveals an error "MCH3601: Pointer not set for location referenced" associated with the module o4util and procedure Os400Release. This issue arises because SAPSTART accesses the outdated O4PRTLIB service program, which recent versions of SAP no longer use. The remedial step involves applying the latest SAPSTART patch, eliminating the need for the obsolete O4PrtLib service program. For additional guidance on patch implementation, consult notes 330793 and 49365.
