There are several things you could look for in MVS for a reason it crashed. Some of the things you could look for are the MVS syslog and/or LOGREC (EREP) and/or RMF data. There could be one of more SVC dumps that got taken under MVS just before the crash. As stated in another email a large

There may not be message in SYSLOG right at the time of the crash but there could be messages before the crash that could help. As an example there could be messages about running out of CSA/SQA. Also please don't forget to look for any SVC dumps that might have happened before the crash and
