This looks very like ABEND 80A in assembler's equivalent. The below-line region space has been exhausted. Most likely because in the recovery process, too much below line staorge are used and no more module can be loaded.

(Yes, I know, the right answer is "don't do too many 'new's" but this is error recovery code. Stuff happens, or IBM would not have invented ESTAE. "More region size" is not the answer -- this is an intentional test of storage exhaustion. More storage would just make it slower to fail <g>.) First I got past the non-standard behavior of XLC in that rather than blowing up per the standard, XLC just returns NULL (0) for a failed new. Got the LANGLVL(NEWEXCP) in place. So I am catching 'new' exceptions. The next problem was that it was impossible to do anything meaningful after catching the 'new' exception because storage was exhausted. So I read somewhere that one had to specify #pragma RUNOPTS( STORAGE(,,,32K) ) to reserve some storage for the storage exhaustion case. I specified 48K just to be on the safe side. This made things better: I go through my error recovery, clean things up, and end gracefully. The remaining problem is that I am not getting any diagnostic information, in other words, exactly *which* new failed -- which will of course make any bug of this sort in the field hard to find. I call CEEDUMP to get a call trace and it produces an *empty* four-line dataset. On the console I get IEW4000I FETCH FOR MODULE CEEMENU3 FROM DDNAME *VLF* FAILED BECAUSE INSUFFICIENT STORAGE WAS AVAILABLE. CSV031I LIBRARY ACCESS FAILED FOR MODULE CEEMENU3, RETURN CODE 24, REASON CODE 26080021, DDNAME *LNKLST* Any suggestions?
