John -
That's very interesting to know, thanks a lot. Is that a comparatively
recent register? It would have been useful in the past!

Cheers

I didn't see mentioned, but if you ever think that the problem is due to a
"wild branch" of any sort, remember that the BEA Register contains the
address last successfully "branched from". It is in the SYSUDUMP under the
PRB of the program which was in execution. So I'd look at the instruction at
that address and see if it could cause execution to proceed to where the
S0C1 was reported. If so, you probably have your culprit.

This is a test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If this had been an actual
emergency, do you really think we'd stick around to tell you?
