Dave do you have an IEFUSI exit or the new parmlib support and are you
reserving sufficient space for z/OS to do termination processing?
It might be helpful for you to look at the way REGION is laid out in this job
using Mark Zelden's REXXSTOR exec http://mzelden.com/mvsutil.html

Subject: S0F9 and SOFD ABENDs and SVC dumps - oh my!
I have a program that fires up about 1000 tasks, and each of these tasks fire
up a sub-task... (I say "tasks"
but these are actually BPX threads - started with BPX
pthread_create.) Each of the 1000 tasks/threads starts a sub-thread and waits
for its completion.
Most of the time when I run the program it works fine; then I'll start getting
S0F9 ABENDs, GETMAIN problems and SOFD ABENDs.
Also - I have an ESTAE routine for each task, but that SOFD is showing my why
that ESTAE isn't working...
I see stuff like this on the console log:
IEA705I 00FC6100 007AC3B0 007AC3B0 00E61200 000000E8 IEA705I ERROR DURING

SPACE 004E 815
SYSTEM ABEND S40D - REASON CODE 10
$HASP310 BPXAS TERMINATED AT END OF MEMORY
I'm very sure all of my GETMAINs are "conditional" (won't cause the 878-10) so
I'm not really sure where that is coming from if not the OS somewhere.
Also - every now and then I get a console request for an SVC dump.
This is all pointing to no space left in LQSA for processing some SVC; but I'm
not exactly sure what to do about it. Especially since it's not easily
reproducible (it comes and goes.)
The 00 flags on the IEA705I message are particularly confusing.
So - the program works until it doesn't - then waiting "awhile" and the OS
seems to clean-up something-or-other and the program will work again for awhile.
Any suggestions on where to look would be welcome.. I'm wondering if there is a
"thundering heard" of the tasks ending (the problems come when all the
tasks/threads are over and things are cleaning up.) And, if that is the case,
I'm not sure what there is to be done about it???
