Re: sdwagrsv not equal rbgrsave

You are doing a poor job of responding to questions and providing details. When a program running in TCB mode is interrupted, the registers are stored in the TCB and the PSW is stored in the RB. If a new RB is created, for example because of SVC 13, the registers from the TCB are copied into

Re: sdwagrsv not equal rbgrsave

Logic does not dictate where to store registers; there are at least two equally logical locations. In a z/OS TCB environment, the RB holds the caller's registers and the TCB holds the current registers with a few exceptions. This is documented. For SRB mode I'm not sure how much is GUPI. --

Create a site ISPF command table and add your commands to that. See ISPF 3.9 and it will show you the defined ISPF command tables. There is one for each application (i.e. ISR), and then up to 3 user tables, 3 site tables, and one system table (ISP). You define the command table names

(It is better to ask than to stay uninformed) I have created few simple REXX scripts for other folks. Such script is located in SYSEXEC concatenation, so it can be issued using TSO SCRIPT1 or TSO SCRIPT2 PARM Recently I was asked to "make it ISPF native" - mean no TSO prefix in the command.

So after the ABEND but before the dump there was further activity, changing the registers in the dump. Where does your PC routine store registers? I'm pretty sure that in your scenario you need to use the values in the SDWA, but perhaps Peter can clarify. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

You should stop all tape processing, (RMM or CA-1, or whatever you have), because while the VOLCAT is not available no changes will work correctly. Actually IBM says: Quiesce tape library management with console command V SMS,LIBRARY(libname),ALL,OFFLINE for each library sharing the volume
