tyvm, Barbara, nice point. I never knew VSM would go *below* when it exhausted *above*. Others are wading through the dump now. But I will check out the info APAR and relay your advice.

It is time to look at the DUMP, as was suggested several times before. Everything else is pure speculation. Also, keep in mind that the culprit may very well be that storage *above* the line is exhausted. If 31bit storage (region) is not available anymore, then VSM will go below the line (if there is space there in the region). The end result is that you'll see a request failing *below* the line because storage *above* is exhausted. I have seen abend80A (indicating a storage below problem), but the problem was above the line. The *only* way to debug this is to look at a dump and look at the storage allocated (search SIS for 'abend878 debug' - gives a very old, very good info apar that tells exactly how to do it). Even if you have a generic abend878 action=nodump slip trap active, set another slip trap on 878 with an action other than nodump. It will override the generic slip trap.
