@Kirk, is the ABEND reason code somewhere in the TCB? I would do the search but 
you can do it as well as I.

Is R0 = normal completion reason code "architected"? I don't recall that it is. 
It is something of a convention, but is it an "MVS linkage"? If not, I 
*suspect* the contents of R0 have vanished.

Subject: Getting ABEND reason code from attached subtask

I'm curious.
Say that I have something like:

ATTACH EP=MYPROG,ECB=MYECB
LTR R15,R15
BZ ATTERR
ST R1,MYTCB
WAIT 1,ECB=MYECB
DETACH MYTCB

I know that I can get either the subtask return code or ABEND completion
code(s) from the ECB.  But in the case of an ABEND, is there an easy way to
get the reason code?
Or do I need an ESTAI routine on the ATTACH to capture that?
Similarly, what about the normal completion reason code (R0)?
