Thank you Tom. This really reinforces what I had in mind. I thought that instead of going wild and doing a bunch of SRB code that I should build the "foundation" first, meaning all the error recovery and so on. It may not be as fun, but I think in the long run it will make things easier. Thanks for the RESMGR hint, too. Now I see it in the doc (hidden away).
Another thing I think I have to consider (the list is growing) is making my main program wait for the SRB to finish. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the WTO's that came out were like this: ---->>>> Program Starting ---->>>> Program Ending >->->->-> Beginning of SRB >->->->-> End of SRB That's a bit out of the order. Could have had something to do with my machine going into spin cycle. I won't be such a pain on IBM-MAIN after tomorrow since my vacation is over and real work will get into the way of my latest hobby.

Lindy, What you really want to do is write an FRR routine for your SRB which will do all of this for you by creating a system dump. Since CSA/ECSA can be very large, create a list of storage addresses which include your CSA/ECSA to be dumped. Additionally, now that you have obtained CSA/ECSA, you need to learn to be a responsible z/OS citizen and free your CSA/ECSA storage after your program terminates, either normally or abnormally. Since you have acquired a resource, you need to issue a RESMGR EOT and EOM routines to clean up in all cases.
