Make sure you don't have and SLIPs coded for the abend condition you're testing that have instructions to bypass the (E)STAE processing. I was testing a change to one of our (E)STAE routines and kept thinking my change wasn't working so I went to put a SLIP on to monitor instruction fetch in my code and when I displayed the SLIPs that were active I found one for the abend I was trying to generate to get my (E)STAE to fire.

Hello: I have an ESTAE coded, but discovered it isn't doing its job correctly. (It is essentially being bypassed.) So, 1) from a dump, is it possible to tell if an SDWA was being passed to the ESTAE routine? and 2) is it possible to tell if an FRR got control instead of my ESTAE? (During program testing, I was able to force an abend which the ESTAE did get control and it did what it was supposed to do.) Thank you.
