IPCS's ESTAE apparently chooses to format the reason code (x'10')
as a decimal number (16). That would not be my choice.

I have to admit that I cheated, and found it documented in the
comments in module IGVVSERR (which is still not OCO, but
nonetheless it is probably pretty hard to access a listing unless
you are an ISV with access to VPL through IBM in Dallas).
EXIT-REGISTERS =
Register 0 - Irrelevant
Register 1 - Abend Code
Register 2 - Register 2 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN
caller
Register 3 - Register 15 of the STORAGE OR SVC 120
entry of GETMAIN/FREEMAIN, otherwise
register 3 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN caller
Registers 4 - Registers 4 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN caller
or AR0 of the STORAGE caller
Registers 5-8 - Registers 5-8 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN
caller
Register 9 - Register 0 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN/STORAGE
caller
Register 10 - Register 1 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN/STORAGE
caller
Registers 11-13 - Registers 11-13 of the GETMAIN/FREEMAIN
caller
Register 14 - The return address of the caller of
GETMAIN/FREEMAIN/STORAGE
Register 15 - Abend reason code
AR 3 - AR 15 of the STORAGE caller (bdry info)
AR 10 - AR 1 of the STORAGE caller (alet)
Keep in mind that since that is not documented in
a book, it is should not be considered to be an interface,
and is subject to change at the discretion of the VSM owners.
