Correction - As Chris Craddock pointed out, it is SUMM FORMAT REGS, not STATUS that formats out the linkage stack entries.

How can you see the stack? The only way to find the correct stack is to know the run-time environment. For example, for some applications, R13 contains a save area chain, but the abending function may have been invoked via a stacking PC instruction, or SVC (ie STORAGE OBTAIN or GETMAIN), in which case R13 will be garbage. If everything uses the linkage stack (pretty uncommon) you would start with CR15 (or look at the LSED displays from the abending TCB via the IPCS STATUS command). For other formats, you will need more internal knowledge. For example, if you are looking at an application written in C++ using the XPLINK format, you may have a large amount of work on your hands, but if it is C/C++ (or any other LE compatible language), you may be able to find information on the SHARE web site about the format of the LE stack. There really isn't a "one size fits all (or even most)" approach to this.
