Question & Answer
Question
Why am I getting an ABEND A78 in my program dialog?
Answer
Check all ISPEXEC call made by the program. ISPF will use the length passed as the first parameter for the length of the buffer which is the second parameter. This length is used to getmain a work area. A bad length passed in can cause an A78 abend due to passing a bad length to SVC 78.
CALL ISPEXEC (buflen, buffer)
Buflen is expected to be a full word binary value.
