There is no such message as MCH37601 so I presume it is MCH3601. That  
generally indicates a coding defect. Trying to reference a pointer  
that is not set. Since this is in IBM code that is an APAR condition  
(unless caused by user-written code neglecting to pass in a parameter  
etc.) in which case you should ensure you are current on PTFs, search  
the IBM Support database for MSGMCH3601 and QZDACRTP, and if no  
resolution then open a PMR.
