I don't believe so...from System Codes:

"Fnn

"Explanation: The system detected an error while processing a Supervisor
Call (SVC) instruction. The last 2 digits of this completion code, nn, are
the operand of the SVC instruction in hexadecimal. For example, completion
code X'F0D' means that the error occurred while the system was processing
SVC X'0D', that is, SVC 13."

An abend from SVC 248 would be FF8, not 0F8, user or not.  I used to see FFE
abends from time to time in a prior shop, and it was from one of our IMS or
ISV SVCs (can't remember which now), which happened to be 254 (FE).

0F8 is an abend in Supervisor control, IEAVESVC, and is for the reason
documented in System Codes, as Tom Marchant included in a prior response.
