Bad assumption, I think. > >While I am looking for documentation, I'll counter with the query of >"What ABEND codes am I supposed to use if not xyy (x=1-E and yy=My >SVC Number)?". XYY being an ABEND from SVC-XX seems to be (as you >stated) the normal (ie: Expected/Assumed Convention) and the few >non-standard codes that IBM has defined will cause problems for ISV >Type SVCs (where the User tells the Installer what SVC Number to use) >if one of the SVCs whose ABEND Codes IBM overlaps is selected.

It has always been my expectation that if i see a system abend code that it would be documented in the System Codes manual. I don't remember ever seeing an ISV product that issues any System abend code. Does anyone here know of one?
