Explanation

A program requested an overlay. When trying to answer the request, the overlay supervisor found that words 3 and 4 of the overlay segment table are incorrect.

The overlay segment table is used by the overlay supervisor; it resides in the load module and is in the same storage protection key as the application program.

Note: Overlay programs run only in 24-bit addressing mode, not in 31-bit addressing mode.

System action

The system abnormally ends the program that requested the overlay. The system writes an ABEND dump, if a dump DD statement is provided.

Programmer response

Check the program for errors that caused the overlay segment table to be incorrectly modified. Correct the errors; then assemble, link edit, and run the program again.
