Issue/Introduction

The users are using the JCLCheck command "!JCK"  in an Endevor Quickedit session.

Some user's session (not all) freezes after a JCLCheck S878 ABEND.

Why does the TSO session freeze after the JCLCheck abend with S878?

Environment

All supported versions of Endevor

Cause

S878 abends normally indicate that the user's TSO REGION size is too small

Resolution

1)   Increase the user's TSO REGION size to 8192K  or greater

2)   Change the JCLCheck OPTIONS to add CTLSCAN(NODSSU)

NODssu

ADRDSSU control cards should not be processed. ADRDSSU is called by JCLCheck to validate the control cards. In a region restricted environment, calling ADRDSSU may exceed the region size available. This option can be used to prevent ADRDSSU from being checked.

 

See JCLCheck CTLSCAN for more information about the CTLSCAN OPTION.
