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. -- Don Poitras - zSeries R & D - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (919)531-5637 Fax:677-4444 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
