Hi,

This is my first post so please forgive me if I have not followed the proper procedures to post this question.

I have a rexx exec that came from an external source, of course it was not documented well for people who don't use rexx.

I have attached the rexx exec and hlasm pgm that its trying to call along with the jcl.

When I try to run the rexx exec, I get a s0c4 abend in some rexx code and there is not much information available regarding the abend.

The problem area in CSICODEV.TXT is at label: LISTDD

If anyone can show me what I am doing wrong I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks

Joe DeChirico

As it is an abend, the problem would be in the ZVRFJFCB program. Looking at the messages in the log, you should hopefully be told at what offset the abend occurs.
The text at LISTDD says 'call ZVRFJFCB passing the var dd as the ddname input and returning the dsns and vols as output'. I can suggest the following alternative, just to get on with it:
Code:
 cc=BpxWdyn('info dd('dd') inrtdsn(dsn)')
 cc=Listdsi("'"dsn"'")                   
 vol=sysvolume

This process is called "code debugging".
It is a mandatory part of any developer's job.

Add a //SYSUDUMP statement to your JCL and run the job again. After the abend, it should contain additional debugging information to help with assembler debugging.

Also, when you assemble the program, keep the assembler listing so that you match the binary dump information the program source code.

See more:
www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=statements-sysabend-sysmdump-sysudump-dd

Though, Willy's suggestion to bypass your assembler program is more useful.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have a SYSUDUMP and the assembly listing of the assembler routine.

The abend was occurring about x'250' into a REXX module on an instruction that was trying to store a value at some displacement off of reg 2 (which was all x'00').

I asked this question because I don't have access to the IBM support center and can't really debug this failure on my own.

I have since gotten the Rexx clist to work, producing the desired results.
