BY the way, you can get an 878 abend from the lack of LSQA if you open a lot of datasets or your main program does a GETMAIN for the entire region. If that happens to be the case you need to have a region that is SMALLER than your actual available region so that you reserve room for your

If the reason code is 04, 08, 0C, 1C, or 20 making your region larger won't help. If it is 0C, 1C, or 20 you should make your region request SMALLER since these indicate that you don't have enough left over for LSQA/SWA. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Look up some of Jerry Ng's presentations at SHARE (share.org). He has an excellent way of explaining dump reading in easy to understand terms. Also, if you haven't already, take an assembler course. It is extremely difficult to debug without an understanding of how assembler instructions work.
