I believe Shmuel meant   05F0   instead of  07F0.
Disassembled, it would read
     BALR  R15,0
     SVC   12      [also known as the SYNCH macro]

These two will result in a system wait state ABEND on any OS/360 variant (PCP, 
MFT, MVT) after all SQA is gobbled up and then the infinite loop wants some 
more.  I haven't tried it yet on my z/OS system.  Don't have time.

BCR  15,0?  Was serialization required?
