Resolution

The client's dump revealed that what occurred was a U878 abend in the SARPAC run, however the abend was not issued by View:

 . SARSDAPI U0878 at 0003A8C2 LMOD ICETRYB CSECT N/A +N/A USERID01 N/A S010.

The U878 abend was issued by DFSORT, and was not in SARPAC. 

The abend occurred as a result of DFSORT opening a file which went through Deliver open hooks, as we were trying to see if Deliver wanted to interface it. 

If storage is exhausted at that point, there is no recovery possible. 

DFSORT changed S878 to U878.

Termination was necessary because it could not continue. 

The resolution is to assign a REGION=nnnM value in the SARPAC job, with the minimum being REGION=100M.
