Thanks for your extended response. I agree that it is unlikely BSA will be any part of my resolution. I was testing ways to avoid running in key 0 while accessing and updating memory in different keys. I saw that BSA could change the PKM and so was testing how it worked. This experiment wa

I wonder what the OP is really wanting to do. Long ago the SYNCH function was invented to help authorized code run "exit" code in non-authorized state. Due to my becoming corrupted by using Linux, if I need to run some non-authorized utility (say ASMA90 or IEBCOPY or ???) from authorized code, I ac

It is quite likely case that you do not want to use BSA. BSA was created to help solve a problem whose nature I no longer specifically remember, but I don't think it is anything like yours. I suggest that you look elsewhere. You are authorized so you have a lot of choices with respect to using

I decided to start looking at the BSA instruction as part of a solution to accessing memory in various keys using key 0. I'm running a reentrant program from an authorized library (so it's loaded in key 0) in problem state; I get a S0D3 abend, which I assume is PIC 13 Special Operation except
