Sam, Thanks for your response. My reg15 has a value of 7001,according to IBM manuals abend s0a8 with rc 7001 results in the following,
THE USER'S RPL OR ECB IS INVALID. Below is my symptum dump: Symptom, Description ------- ----------- PIDS/569511701 Program id: 569511701 RIDS/UNKNOWN#L Load module name: UNKNOWN RIDS/ISTAICPT Csect name: ISTAICPT AB/S00A8 System abend code: 00A8 PRCS/00007001 Abend reason code: 00007001 REGS/0CE40 Register/PSW difference for R0C: E40 REGS/B01BF Register/PSW difference for R0B:-01BF RIDS/ISTAPCFR#R Recovery routine csect name: ISTAPCFR General,purpose register values at the time of error ,0-3 84000000 840A8000 13D84960 00000000 ,4-7 191F3258 00FC97B8 17682BF0 17635508 ,8-11 191F3258 191F3258 17635470 178D6391 12-15,978D5392 17635478 00000000 00007001 I tried all basic IPCS commands like "SUMMARY FORMAT CURRENT", to atleast find the failing TCB,SVC call etc,but all my TCB's were with completion code 0. So now I basically need the IPCS VTAM commands to fiqure or trace the RPL's and unfortunately I dont have the following manuals,or anyother material that talk abt VTAM dump reading and I am also a newbie to VTAM LY43-0090 z/OS Communication Server SNA Data Areas Volume 1 LY43-0091 z/OS Communication Server SNA Data Areas Volume 2 LY43-0088 z/OS Communication Server SNA Diagnosis Volume 1 LY43-0089 z/OS Communication Server SNA Diagnosis Volume 2 Cheers, Mary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
