1. IEFYS is a really old interface; I didn't think anybody was still using it. The best place to look is probably the OS/360 documentation at http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/os/R20.1_Mar71/GC28-6550-9_OS_System_Programmers_Guide_Rel_20.1_Jun71.pdf
2. Doesn't IEFACTRT run under the Initiator TCB? I would expect the storage of the terminating job step to be long gone. 3. Show your parameter list and return code. You're running under the Initiator, so it may be an issue with your security environment. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Where is use of IEFYS for writing messages to the JOBLOG documented? The example given in the documentation for IEFACTRT is incomplete. Google doesn't seem to locate the doc as well. 2. I am abending on S0C4 because getmained areas are automatically being freed at end of step, before IEFACTRT gets control. It is not clear to me if SUBPOOL alone can solve the problem. Do I need to specify TCBADDR=TCBJSTCB on the STORAGE macro so that the "input TCB" is the job-step TCB? What course is recommended? 3. The documentation says one can dynamically allocate within IEFACTRT but the BPXWDYN routine returns a non-zero return code. (Same code that works fine in a regular program.) Is this a limitation of BPXWDYN? Should I code an SVC 99 call myself?
