To determine storage key/fetch protection:

1) Initialize (or reinitialize) your dump with the MACHINE option.
2) When asked to use summary dump info, specify NO (for full init) if
prompted.
3) In option 1 while browsing storage Locate the area of storage: (6dd0
is the example used here)
    type in on the command line "IPCS LIST 6dd0."

4) The following is displayed:
 

LIST 6DD0. ASID(X'0243') LENGTH(X'04') AREA

ASID(X'0243') ADDRESS(6DD0.) KEY(88)                <= First nibble is
storage key, second nibble is fetch protect bit

00006DD0. 00006DD0 

Hope this helps.

Subject: How to find fetch protected area

Hi experts,

I am a beginner of dump reading and have a simple S0C4. Could anyone
please guide me.
The PSW looks  079D0000 9B76D1B4. The failing instruction is L
R15,X'0C'(R15). The value of R15 is 000128FC.

The output of VERBX VSMDATA shows;

DATA FOR SUBPOOL 251, KEY  8 FOLLOWS:

 -- DQE LISTING (VIRTUAL BELOW, REAL BELOW)

    DQE:  ADDR 00012000 SIZE     2000                                  
                                    FQE: ADDR 00012000 SIZE      870 
    DQE:  ADDR 0001B000 SIZE     2000                                  
                                    FQE: ADDR 0001B000 SIZE      480 

So my analysis is that a pgm running with storage key 9 tries to access
key 8 fetch protected storage and the access is denied.
Am I correct ?
How do I know the area is fetch protected ? Is there any IPCS command to
tell fetch protected or not? 

Thanks in advance.
