Error description
After adding more INCLUDES in the BEGINVTAM portion of the TELNET profile all storage below the line became allocated resulting in a system abends878-10. The INCLUDE accesses a dataset which requires a DCB that needs to be in below the line storage. However the storage is being allocated on a page boundary for every include. This causes a new page to be allocated for every INCLUDE. The page boundary requirement needs to be removed so that the INCLUDES can allocate many DCBs on a single page.
Local fix
Reduce the amount if includes.
