Re: Steps for diagnosing a S378
There are "normal" registers at time of abend (such as regs 1 and 15) and then there are regs that are set up specifically by the program issuing the abend. It is those latter regs that need to be documented specifically, because otherwise there's no way that a user can reliably know what they are. Martin, Yes the RTM2WA contains registers and PSW at time of each abend. So too do applicable RBs and XSBs. The symptom dump IEA995I is accessible without a dump. If using IPCS, I tend to start with things such as Status Faildata Status Worksheet Summary Format Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: Steps for diagnosing a S378
I've asked the customer to send me an IPCS SYSMDUMP. I will try all these suggestions when I get it. Once I find which STORAGE RELEASE is causing the abend is there an easy way to tell what address was being released? Would I have the registers at the time of the STORAGE RELEASE?

Re: Steps for diagnosing a S378
I would do: IP SYSTRACE then look for "RCVY". The SVC 78 with the PSW from your program should be right above that.

Steps for diagnosing a S378
What’s the best method for diagnosing a S378-14? I’vetried looking at dumps for various getmain/freemain failures and I have troublenarrowing down the code that was executing when the failure happens. If Iget a SYSMDUMP what’s the quickest sequence for locating the abending FREEMAIN?
