Let me show my naivete here...

... I normally search in a dump on "RTM2WA".  Is this different? And if so 
why?

Cheers, Martin (still learning, I hope...) :-)

When there is a "symptom dump" (message IEA995I), it contains the 
registers at the time of the abend.

Those include
-- length of area  (reg 9)
-- address of area (reg 10)
-- return address of caller (reg 14)

 END OF SYMPTOM DUMP 

The registers at time of error ought to be documented in "system codes" 
but they are not. I'll see if I can get the VSM owners to address that.
