A program issues a WAIT ECBLIST= for a list of three ECBs. The program
receives an S202-0000 ABEND. Here is the explanation:

Explanation: During processing of a POST macro, the system found an error
with an event control block (ECB).

00 The system found an incorrect address for a request block (RB) in the 3
low-order bytes of the ECB specified
by the problem program.
The system places the address of the RB in the ECB during processing of a
WAIT macro. This address must
remain in the ECB until a POST macro places a post code or zeros in the ECB.

Am I interpreting this correctly as indicating that the ECB was modified
incorrectly *after* the WAIT ECBLIST= and *before* the completion of a POST?
In other words, the WAIT ECBLIST= ran correctly through the initial
processing of the function but during the processing of POST, the contents
of bits 8-31 of the ECB were found not to point to a valid RB. 

Is there any particular reason this is reported on the WAIT rather than on
the POST?
