Resolution

The Endevor system has DB2 in the exit routines. 

PLAN/THREAD CONNECT TO DB00/MFLT4381 ERROR
DB2 CONNECT ERROR:                       
RETC = +0000000008 REASON = +0015925300  

Reason code of X’00F30034’  means the program attempting to execute the plan is not authorized to use the plan. 

S222 abend went away after adding appropriate plan authorization. No more cancellation in the ENF log.
