I would assume that the S322 ABEND was caused by the following scenario: The job had used up almost all its estimated time (with the TIME= parameter on the JOB card), or else there was a very small default value. Along comes the IEFBR14 step which, in itself, has only two instructions in it, which could hardly be expected to cause a S322 ABEND. But the usual reason for adding an IEFBR14 step is to have some special DD statement processing occur, which is really handled by the Initiator/Terminator and has nothing to do with the execution of those two instructions inside IEFBR14. During the processing of the DD statement(s) in the IEFBR14 step, the system kept charging all the CPU time used (which was now being used by system code within the Initiator/Terminator) to the job's remaining time, and some combination of DD statements needed so much processing that all remaining "user" time was used up by the system before all the work was finished for whatever kind of allocatio! n was requested by the DD statement(s).
Just guessing.
