Error description

• Abend 018A in module BHIP1CCW with reason code 3BF20101 in Reg.
  0 and reason code 10 in reg. 15.
  
  3BF20101 - A program check occurred when the paging services was
  accessing the caller's service list (SL) entry.
  
  10 - The input ECB, TCB, or PSL/SSL failed validity checks.
  
  ANALYSIS:
  Register 3: If branch entry, caller's return address.
  Register 4: If LIST-FORMAT entry, address of the caller's
  erroneous page service list entry (PSL)
  Register 11: If LIST-FORMAT entry, address of the caller's first
  PSL/SSL entry.
  
  BHIP1CCW issues the ?PGSER macro with a FIX or FREE using a PSL.
  If the frame backing the PSL is stolen, a page fault can be
  encountered leading to the abend.  This is more likely to occur
  on a system that is memory constrained.
  
  VERIFICATION STEPS:
  In syslog, check for a PGM that is on the same page as
  the PSL
