If the problem is recreatable and you can recompile and rerun, then I agree that using SSRANGE is probably your EASIEST solution (if it is a storage overlay problem). As the manual talks about savearea chains, the other thing that I would suggest looking at is the compiler options versus the linkage-editor (binder) options. Sometimes programmers compile creating AMODE(24) programs and then override with binder AMODE(31) attributes. This can certainly cause problems.
Do you have Abend-Aid, DumpMaster or other aids (or use CeeDump)? As much as many systems programmers don't like those, they often DO provide easy solutions to such problems.
