(First set of registers are usually the calling program) be careful That can be misleading as the RTM2 will put things in the DUMP as well. That makes IPCS indispensable when dealing with dumps. The PSW might be pointing to something else initially in the dump so you have to scan down through the listing find you program. That's why, as some have said here mentorship is a good way to skip some other painful lessons. I still have to call on 50 year vetran even after I've done t6his for over 30.. I don't write wait post code.. Good point though ..

You are given the registers and psw in just about every dump. That with an abend code should provide enough info to resolve the issue. Of course many oc4's are the result of unresolved linkage or wild branches. These can be frustrating! It is good to sprinkle eye catchers throughout your codecode. Then of course you could always resort to desk checking your code and making sure the code generated matches your intent. Every one has there own style to finding the gremlins hidden in their code. Best advice I can provide is don't give up! Kurt LeBesco Nys courts retired. On Jul 29, 2013 2:43 PM, "Tom Marchant" <[email protected]> wrote:
