Isn't the easiest way to ask SVC 99 to issue the message?

According to manual, DAIRFAIL is an alternative. The doc is in the Auth Ass. Serv. Guide, Chapter 26, section "Processing messages from dynamic allocation". If you follow the instructions there, you'll get the messages you would see from any ALLOC failure in TSO. Almost certainly the same as what you'd get from bpxwdyn (or DAIRFAIL, I'd bet). Anyway, they explain the error in more-or-less plain English. i.e. as plain as it gets. Don't know about the availability of translations. The easy button is to request those messages be issued as WTOs. If that's where you were going with them, save yourself a lot of hassle and select that option. Anyway, the code to retrieve the messages, so you could write them to SYSPRINT say, is like most DYNALLOC code, more tedious than difficult. sas On Wed, Apr 1, 2020 at 4:40 PM Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> wrote: > It makes a difference whether the code issues the raw DYNALLOC error and > reason codes or an understandable explanation.
