Abend FDB indicates an invalid SVC call. The SVC number is x'DB', or 219, which 
is in the range of installation defined SVCs. In other words, it's not an 
official IBM SVC. Either the SVC environment was set up improperly, or it was 
not an actual SVC call but execution of code that looks like an SVC but isn't. 
You need to find the location where the SVC was issued. Easiest way I know of 
is system trace table.
