Pretty strong words. Can you reference any documentation to support your claim that those system abend coded "belong" to user SVCs? While most system abend codes except for S0xx follow the convention that the 'xx' is the SVC that issued the abend, I've never seen any documentation that said that any system completion codes are reserved for user SVCs.
