Programmer response
Look up the return and reason code to determine why the z/OS® UNIX system services callable service spawn (BPX1SPN) failed. For a SH request through either the BPXBATSL entry point or BPXBATCH with _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST, the user must be a superuser (UID=0). This is important because some processes, including running the shell, use programs like /bin/login that require a UID=0. Programs requiring superuser access can only run in shared address space mode if the address space itself is running UID=0.
