It could be that someone recompiled something and noone refreshed lla, until the IPL. If you have an old backup of these libraries and can load it to a different name, I would do that and check the lengths of the programs or otherwise compare them. Of course, you could look at RACF and make sure noone has access to those libraries.

What software changes? Apar/PTFs applied. What level of z/OS or OS/390 are you running. Any parmlib changes - I ran into an issue when we moved SWA above the line, same with UCB. Have you reviewed a dump to see what area the abends are occurring in?
