Don't overlook the health checks that can report on CSA/ECSA and SQA/ESQA usage and provide alerts at stages (and severities) that you define, such as CHECK(VSM_CSA_THRESHOLD) and CHECK(VSM_SQA_THRESHOLD). And for understanding who is using what, there is the VERBEXIT VSMDATA OWNCOMM report

I have no comment on what you say is a "hang". Here's a simple example that does abend and does place an RB address in SDWARBAD and does not retry (so that your recovery gets control). It assumes AMODE 31 or AMODE 64 (since for AMODE 24 it would use the address x'FFF000' which is valid).

No, it's the interrupt code; I would expect it to be the SVC number for the normal case. The text in the mapping isn't very clear, so snoop around a bit. For a normal ABEND the ABEND code and reason code should be in the SVRB for SVC 0D (13). For an 0Cx/0Dx, it's a bit different. Are you just

Hey Peter, I downloaded the latest IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python 3.12 pax, HAMB3C0, and it contains Python 3.12. After unpaxing it, if you run the command "./usr/lpp/IBM/cyp/v3r12/pyz/bin/python3 --version", does it report 3.12? It could just be your environment variables PATH/LIBPATH

Passed vs. Cataloguee?

Suppose I have two identical DSNs on different volumes. One is catalogued; the other not. (Does SMS allow that nowadays?) In a job step I allocate DD DISP=(SHR,PASS),VOL=SER=... In a subsequent step, I allocate by DSN with no explicit volume informarion. Which one wins, the passed or the

Re: Passed vs. Cataloguee?

The newbie would figure it out by the error messages. You can't allocate (create) using DISP=SHR. That would have to be DISP=(NEW,PASS) OR DISP=(MOD,PASS). Next, your "xxx,pass" would need a DSN that one could reference the data set with so that you would not have to resort to refer-backs.

Re: Abend producing SDWARBAD

Yes, and when it's an SVRB you have convenient access to the registers at the time the SVC was issued. That may be more helpful than the registers at the time of failure. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי
