The PCCA contains the PCCACPID which has serial and model numbers. The
z9 is 2094 and 2096. We recently got one of these so I can finally use
the BEAR. Here are some notes on I have on locating the BEAR, gleaned
from Share or other sources:

Where are BEAR contents saved:
When a Program interrupt occurs, the contents of BEAR are stored in
PSA+x'110' (FLCEBEA) in low core
When a Program check occurs, RTM will copy into
SDWABEA (SDWARC4 +150),
RTM2BEA (RTM2WA +6D0)
ST FAILDATA or VERBX LOGDATA will provide contents of BEAR If SDWARC4 is
available (above-the-line SDWA only)

I do:

IP SUMM FORMAT

then "F rtm2wa"

then "F 'bea..'"

+06D0  BEA...... 00000000  199FACDC
+06D8  PSW1..... 07850000  80000000  00000000  199FA66E

So the last successful branch in this program was at address 199FACDC.
