What tasks are generating the message?  Here the explanation for S0B0
RC3C which IEF431E points to

| 3C        The SWA Manager encountered a zero value as the pointer to
the   
|           QMPA while attempting to process an assign request. The most

|           likely cause of this error condition is that a task running

|           under the Master Subsystem (SUB=MSTR) attempted a dynamic

|           allocation in its own address space, but that address space
had  
|           not yet been totally set up.

 

|           Some specific causes are:

 

|           1.  Attempting to run a Started JOB as SUB=MSTR or under a
WLM   
|               Initiator (INIT), when the JOB to be started has an
instream 
|               procedure (proc). The Converter issues a dynamic
allocation  
|               to create a temporary PDS to hold the procedure being
read   
|               in.

 

|           2.  Attempting to run a Started Task (STC) as SUB=MSTR, but
not  
|               all of the data sets needed for that Started Task are

|               cataloged in the MASTER CATALOG.  Either a JOBCAT or
STEPCAT 
|               is included in the JCL, or simply one of the datasets in
the 
|               JCL is cataloged in a USER catalog (usercat). Allocation

|               itself issues a dynamic allocation for the required
catalog. 
 

|           3.  The device type in the catalog for one of the data set

|               needed by something being started SUB=MSTR is incorrect

|               (e.g., it says that the data set is on a 3380, but it's

|               really on a 3390).

 

|           Corrective actions are:

 

|           1.  Started jobs with PROC statements may not be run
SUB=MSTR.   
 

|               Either:

 

|               o   remove the PROC statement, or

 

|               o   remove the JOB statement and run it as a started
task    
 

|               o   run it as SUB=JES2 (or JES3)

 

|           2.  Ensure that all data sets required by jobs or tasks
running  
|               SUB=MSTR are cataloged in the Master catalog or are
directly 
|               pointed to by the specification of UNIT and VOL=SER

|               parameters on the DD statement.

 

|           3.  Ensure that the device types for all required catalogued

|               data sets and any UNIT parameters on DD statements are

|               correct.

 

  System Action:  The task ends and the system writes a dump.

Subject: IEF431E ZERO QMPA POINTER FOUND. SWA MANAGER REASON CODE=3C

We copied our zOS 1.7 system (in test mode here) to another set of dasd
to be run on a different mainframe under VM.

We are getting the message

IEF431E ZERO QMPA POINTER FOUND. SWA MANAGER REASON CODE=3C


Anyone have any idea what this is referring to?
