I had the same observation. Sending every condition through the same handler was advantageous for me.
You would want to keep the SPIE if program checks were expected: perhaps a report generator where you anticipated that users might declare fields to be packed when they were not always valid.

An irreverent take would be that they enjoy obfuscating abends by transforming program checks into U4xxx abends. The ESPIE can be eliminated using TRAP=(ON,NOSPIE), and we have not seen any adverse effects upon LE recovery from running that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
