Solution to S0C4 at CLOSE SVC found: Always code STRNO=(# I/O subtasks)+1 in your JCL and you'll avoid the problem. Dynamically acquired strings (default is STRNO=2) get freed at subtask termination, leading to S0C4 at CLOSE.
Thanks to all for help on SUBSYS override.

I agree, BLSR is a useful critter. I am, in fact, pretty familiar with it, having introduced its use into production jobs in my group to help performance. As to why I need to remove it, there may be a storage overlay issue in my massively multitasking assembler application code, OR there may be a CLOSE SVC code issue when NOT using BLSR for this application, and I need to figure out which (symptom is S0C4 in system code at CLOSE of VSAM file in MAIN application task; VSAM file was opened in MAIN task, read/write in subtasks).
