We don't want to waste the time and space.  The caller information is in the 
preceding PC trace entry.

Subject: Question on SSRV entries in system trace table

Anyone,

The doc on SSRV trace table entries in the "z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and 
Service Aids" pub says this:

PSW----- ADDRESS-return--:

o For PC/AUTH, supervisor control, and task management: Caller's return address 
if the service was entered by a branch; 0 if the service was entered by a PC 
instruction

In a dump I see that a specific IARV64 REQUEST=GETSTOR macro invocation 
generates a PC instruction and there is no PSW information in that trace table 
entry. Ok. The doc is correct.

Does anyone know WHY there is no PSW saved in SSRV trace entries for 
non-branch-entry system service calls? It makes diagnosis of errors more 
difficult...
