My immediate thought is that the library is fine. The problem is most
likely somewhere in the request block (parameters) that you are giving to
SVC 99. You might want to post that code. If you are not doing anything
fancy, you might want to consider replacing the SVC 99 code with a call to
BPXWDYN(). You pass that subroutine a character string which looks a lot
like a TSO ALLOCATE command. And it does all the hard work for you.

You can use BPXWDYN in any high level language, HLASM, and REXX!
