I agree with John on this. Set a slip trap for the S30A to get an SVC dump. Then, since the program works OK on z/OS v1.4 and abends on z/OS 1.7, I'd contact IBM support to find out what differences in the two releases might cause this. Maybe there was a hole in z/OS v1.4 that allowed the freemain to seem to work, but it really wasn't, and now IBM has closed that hole.
