I am abending on S0C4 because getmained areas are automatically being freed at end of step, before IEFACTRT gets control. It is not clear to me if SUBPOOL alone can solve the problem. Do I need to specify TCBADDR=TCBJSTCB on the STORAGE macro so that the "input TCB" is the job-step TCB? What c

Otherwise you can hook the standard LOAD/LINK/ATTACH SVCs. Please do not do that. There is a long history of applications getting this wrong. It is unfortunate that hooking of any SVC was ever viewed as acceptable practice. But in the absence of suitable exits, it can be understandable. z/OS
