Quick query about use of FREE=CLOSE in DFSORT JCL
Some of our users have FREE=CLOSE on the SYSOUT statements in their DFSORT JCL

What actually happens if FREE=CLOSE is specified now? Is it ignored? Does the
job fail? Or

The low order 3 nibbles (x'030') are the wait state code.
An SAD would provide more information, however with looking at a dump, this is
commonly seen when there is insufficient SQA/LSQA during system initialization.
Check the values for SQA and CSA in
z/OS 1.13 - Not sure maintenance level would have been RSU 13xx - not sure
the last RSU applied.
I could get a SAD if required.

Abend COD is an abend during abend processing and tells you nothing.
You must go to the original abend (my guess is 106-C due to storage failure or
X78 abend).
I agree. An SAD is the only way we're going to get anywhere.
