I know what I did wrong. I inadvertently (well, I was testing
a change to an ISPF edit macro) submitted a job with an SMP/E
APPLY step with an instream SMPCNTL with RECFM=VB. It's easy
to suspect that SMP/E contains a DCB with a hardcoded RECFM=FB.
The result:

This tells me hardly anything about what was wrong. Would
a SYNADAF have returned a buffer with more information?
Can a customer reasonably expect that a developer would
have coded the SYNADAF and displayed the reply in SMPOUT,
job log, or elsewhere. I don't think the right answer is
that if I make a mistake I should be prepared for an
inexplicable outcome.
