My first suggestion would be to talk to the vendor or check the product documentation for assistance in debugging this condition (trace facilities or diagnostic aids).
Failing that, I would collect a dump for the abend. In the dump, I think that you should find an SVRB that contains the registers at the time of the WRITE which should contain a pointer to the buffer in memory that was to be written. The suggestion from IBM to collect diagnostic information for this abend is to specify DIAGNS=TRACE on the DD statement used for output and run a GTF trace. That should capture diagnostic information associated with the abend. I don't know if that is an option in your case. I think that the GTF trace should contain information on buffer contents etc. but you may need assistance to interpret it.
