42A

Explanation

During processing of an ATTACH macro, the system found that the ECB parameter specified an incorrect address for the event control block (ECB) to be posted when the subtask abnormally ends.

The address was incorrect for the following reasons:
  • It was not on a fullword boundary.
  • The addressed virtual storage is not allocated, or its protection key does not match the protection key of the issuer of the ATTACH.

System action

The system abnormally ends the program that issued the ATTACH macro.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program 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. Provide the program listing for the job.

Programmer response

Change the ATTACH macro to specify the correct ECB address and ensure that the specification was not incorrectly modified by the problem program. Correct the error. Run the job again.
