Yes, the first thing I always do when looking at a system trace is "DOWN MAX", "REPORT VIEW", "F '*' 20 PREV", and then search upwards. >>c) In some dumps I see "SVC 3" (exit) trace entries, sometimes I can see the >>"SVC 3E" (DETACH), sometime it is not in the trace. >What's the question on this? Excellent question ;-) It was more of a bit of information than a question. >Always look at the earlieast error indication. Normally, yes. In this case the first entry marked is for the S13E which we see often, followed by a normal task termination SVC D. Both are marked with an asterisk, but this is not an error that leads to job termination. Also, sometime I/O entries are also marked in error, but the I/O does not necessarily belong to the address space in question, so these can also be ignored. >Are there logrec entries for it? What is that error? Only for the S13E (two of them). >If it is a pic11, check the earlier trace table in that address space for a >freemain - sometimes it is a larger range that got freed.
