Explanation

Execute channel program (EXCP) processing found that an unauthorized program issued the EXCPVR macro. One of the following conditions must be present for the program to be authorized:
  • The program must run under system protection key 0 through 7.
  • The program must be in supervisor state.
  • The SVC 114 authorization bit is set on in the job step control block (JSCB).
  • The SVC 114 authorization bit is set on in the data extent block (DEB).

System action

The system abnormally ends the current task.

System programmer response

If the system wrote a dump, look at field TCBEXCPD at offset X'C0' in the task control block (TCB) of the current task. TCBEXCPD points to the EXCP debugging area (XDBA). The XDBA contains diagnostic data associated with the EXCP processor.

If the error recurs and the program issuing the EXCPVR or EXCP macro is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center.

Programmer response

Ensure that the program is authorized to issue the EXCPVR macro or SVC 0, the EXCP macro. Check the problem program for the error. If the error cannot be determined, run the job again, requesting an ABEND dump. Notify the system programmer.
