Answer / aap

I completely agree with Answer 1.
Just to add to B37 abend (while agreeing to it) -
we get abends like SB37, SD37 etc.
Actually S is for system, 37 denotes the space abend.
But the 2nd alphabet B is for blocks, D is for DASD
etc...the unit of colume for which the space parameter has
been defined..This helps to resolve a lot of confusions :-)
