Michael, It sounds like you are issuing the SETFRR under your TCB which is going to SCHEDULE your SRB. This is not necessary and will almost certainly cause you problems, such as the 0F8 abend, and this FRR will not protect your SRB.
FRR's can be used to establish a recovery environment for a TCB, but I don't think you really need one here. If you do need such an environment, I would use an ESTAEX. You can choose to use an FRR with your SRB, or, you can just let it percolate back to your TCB, as Chris mentioned. If you do want an FRR for your SRB, you can just set its address in the SRBFRRA field or you can issue your own SETFRR rearly in the SRB code. I would also suggest issuing an SRBTIMER macro to catch any loops you might have. Like the Binjamin and Chris, I wonder what you're trying to accomplish here. It sounds like this is your first foray into this sort of coding, but it also appears that you haven't read all of the background material in the z/OS Authorized Programming Guide, which I suggest you should do. In there are the answers to all of the questions you've been asking here. If you are determined to push ahead, I'm hoping you are testing on a sandbox system. Please be more communicative with your objectives here.

ESTAEs? If not, you might be biting off more than you can chew with testing a FRR and SRB's at the same time. Under which conditions will you recover? You might want to set it up so that the SRB will abend your issuing task. Also, I don't get the connection between what you are doing and a non-reentrent TSO command. Try to give details on WHAT you are trying to accomplish - not how you are trying to do it. :>-----Original Message----- :>From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf :>Of Chris Craddock :>Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 12:05 AM :>To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu :>Subject: Re: SYSTEM ABEND CODE 0F8 REASON CODE 00000014 under TESTAUTH :> :>No, you werent where you thought you were in the code.
