Issue/Introduction

A CAIRIM S878 can precede a task abend with COMPLETION CODE SA78 REASON CODE 00000004.

Cause

The specified REGION size of 524K for CAS9/CAiRIM execution was too small.  The storage request from (IBM) OPEN processing resulted in an operating system getmain failure.

Environment

z/OS

Resolution

 Increase the REGION size on the EXEC Card of the CAS9 proc.  Although the default REGION as distributed is 2M, specifying REGION=0M resolved this problem.
