Joe R wrote <snip> Can someone explain to me why the last instruction in the LOCASCB MACRO is SAC X'200' </snip>
Because one of the first instructions is SAC 0 and you told LOCASCB via SYSSTATE that you are in AR-mode and LOCASCB does not run in AR mode, so it switched out of AR mode before branching to the service and switched back to AR mode after.

Joe R wrote <snip> Didn't specify stoken the code caused me to get a 0F8 as I was running under test and there must been sone value in the access registers </snip> Not true. Don't you look up an abend code and reason code when you get it? 0F8 is issued due to an incorrect SVC. LOCASCB does not issue SVC. Ed J wrote a bunch of stuff All of it true.
