I still think my Douglas Adams comment was as good a piece of advice as anything I've encountered in this thread. To wit: I don't recall anyone pointing out that JES2 EXIT 6, the one at issue in the original question, runs in the USER environment, not the JES2 environment. That is, JES2 gives control to the user address space while all those SVC 26 calls are flailing away at the CP cycle repository. How could JES2--or any other single monitoring point--possibly know what resources have been consumed by the user's execution of the exit code?
I'll stick with 42. . . .
