The registers in the SDWA related to RB or linkage stack entry are not time of error. There are many rules involved with when those registers are saved.
If you want registers for retry, then you should save them in a work area that you can locate via the ESTAE parameter or the FRR parameter area. That is what is always available to you. Trying multiple places is not the right approach.
