Good point. Some of the system ABENDs are incredibly broad and generic. Without the reason code, you are guessing.

SDWACRC is in the SDWARC1 Extension, the address of which is in SDWASVRP. SDWASVRP is in the SDWAPTRS area which is pointed to by SDWAXPAD. The somewhat torturous route to the Reason Code suggests to me that it was not part of the original specifications for RTM termination services...

If it is non-zero, format it as Sxxx where xxx is the hex value of the twelve bits. There are other threads here that have covered binary to hex conversion -- there are lots of ways to do it. They should never both be non-zero on an ABEND. It is possible but unlikely they are both zero. If so, I think there is a bit somewhere that tells you whether this is a U0000 or an S000 ABEND. If it were me and I was trying to be compact, I might just format the S-code if it were non-zero, and else the U-code (zero or not).

More specifically the System Diagnostic Work area. Does anyone have any sample code to share which interprets and converts the two 12-Bit codes of SDWACMPC into a displayable format ? . I'm trying to keep the size of the module small and would prefer not to use any Translation Table. . Anyone have any code they could share ? . . Thank You Paul D'Angelo . . .
