ABENDS0C4 if fetchable PL/I program fetches itself

Main batch PL/I program abends with 0C4 and reason code 11, If a PL/I fetchable routine fetches itself with FETCH stament, and this fetchable routine is called by another fetchable program. So we think that this kind of usage can be controlled at the compile time of the fetchable PL/I routine. And PL/I compiler may produce an appropriate message for the developer.
