ACF2 also does (or did) this I think (I'm not sure). It may have gone away
when it went to the SAF interface as opposed to ZAPing SVCs.
This is one of the very few justifiable uses of system abend codes by
non-IBM code. If you are replacing SVCs 130-133, it makes perfect sense to
use x82, x83, x84 and x85 abend codes. Of course, if you can make them
coincide with the descriptions in the manual, so much the better.
Appropriately unique reason codes can draw attention to product unique
situations.

If you can find any reference in any manual that says that you should use
_any_ system abend code, I would like to see it. 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
I seem to remember that TMS (UCC-1 now CA-1) issues SYSTEM ABENDs from its
SVC when needed.
