I have an application that uses IARV64 REQUEST=GETCOMMON,COND=YES. I have tested with an unreasonable request size and gotten a return with a reason code as expected.
I recently had the IARV64 fail, due to my bug that I have located. But what surprised me is that I got an SDC2 ABEND rather than a return with a reason code. I would rather get a return because I can handle it more neatly than an ABEND (although yes, I do catch the ABEND with ESTAE). Why the ABEND rather than a return? Can I force a return rather than an ABEND? Is this documented somewhere? (I obviously did not see it.) In case it matters the reason code in question is xx0042yy, Guard size is greater than object size. (And again, I have located the underlying bug; I don't need help with that; just with "why ABEND rather than return?") z/OS V2R2 and V2R3, if that matters.
