I found the following by clicking "manuals" at the top of this page and then scrolled down untill I founs a manual called "System Codes" or some such:

212

Explanation: An error occurred during the processing of SVC 18; the
error could not be attributed to incorrect user input. This system
completion code is accompanied by message IEC909I. Refer to the
explanation of message IEC909I for complete information about the task
that was ended and for an explanation of the return code in register
15.

Source: DFSMSdfp

System Action: Message IEC909I is issued indicating whether a dump
was taken to the SYS1.DUMP data set.

Application Programmer Response: Make sure that the BLDL or FIND
macro instruction is correctly coded, and that the parameter list and
control blocks involved are not modified by your program during the
processing of SVC 18.

System Programmer Response: If the error recurs and the program is
not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more
information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the
problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Provide
the JCL, the program listing for the job, and the logrec data set
error record.

0F4

Explanation: An error occurred in PDSE support.

Source: DFSMSdfp

System Action: Prior to the ABEND error occurring, a return code was
placed in the general register 15 and a reason code in general
register 0. An SVC dump has been taken. The PDSE recovery routines
retry to allow the failing module to return to its caller.

Application Programmer Response: System error. Rerun the job.

System Programmer Response: If the error recurs and the program is
not in error, search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the
problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM Support Center. Provide
the JCL, the SYSOUT output for the job, and the logrec data set error
record.

You don't say what your environment is: COBOL/ASM? What you're attempting, etc.

If you're not doing anything too esoteric run the job again (if you haven't already) if you get the same result, take the documentation to your friendly sysprog and let him handle it.
