Thank you both for your replies. No, I'm not using EXTR nor was the STEP specified on the ABEND.
I understand the problem. After the subtask percolates, the system post the main task's ECB with the subtask's completion code. The abend will not interrupt the main task. The main task can check the ECB when it needs to and then take appropriate action.
