Might be worth a shot. I initially dismissed this as a possibility because the application is CICS/COBOL, and those kinds of programs "normally" don't visit the PSA (indeed, not many of them even know there *is* a PSA, let alone where to find it). <snip> This is exactly where I would expect things to go south when you jump from 31 bit Architecture machines to z/ARCH machines (error recovery and changing of some anchor in PSA). If you can, try setting the ARCHLEVEL to 1 in the PARMLIB of one of the z/9 machines (I trust, not having looked at the functional characteristics manuals that this is possible -- that is, that the machine won't cause NIP, IRIM, NUC to choke during IPL -- and you must be at z/OS 1.4 or earlier to run on a non-z/ARCH machine, right?). IF the problem magically stops, then it would appear that there is some error recovery code (this is my assumption) that can't handle the difference between a single page PSA and a dual page PSA.
