Error description

• Abend EC6 reason codes FDxx and FFxx are not documented well in
  OS/390 MVS System Codes (GC28-1780) for OS/390 releases V1R3
  through V2R6.
  
  ABENDEC6 SEC6 RC0000FF13
  
  ================================================================
  The following shows update information which is being added to
  the OS/390 V2R7 System Codes publication:
  (Note that references to "OpenEdition" and "OpenMVS" are changed
  to "UNIX System Services" in the Release V2R6 level of pubs.)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  EC6
  
  Explanation:  An error occurred during processing of a callable
  service to OS/390 OpenMVS. The callable service may have been
  originally issued as a function in a program or as a shell
  command.
  
  A hexadecimal reason code in register 15 describes the error.
  The reason codes are in the form xxxx yyyy, where xxxx
  represents internal information (not described here) and yyyy
  represents external information shown below.
  
  Only external reason codes are documented. There are many other
  possible reason codes for internal errors. The internal errors
  should be reported to IBM.
  
  Code   Explanation
  
  000D   A failing physical file system requested that the OS/390
         OpenEdition MVS kernel be ended.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ...
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  FDxx   Terminating signal with dump.
  
  FDF1   Unauthorized Caller to Exec2 internal callable service.
  
  FDF2   Osab does not exist in calling process.
  
  FDF3   Bad Return Code from RACF Exec Set Uid/Gid Service.
  
  FDF4   Caller not authorized (key 0 | supervisor) for BPXMRKIN.
  
  FFxx   Terminating signal with no dump.
  
  FFF7   OS/390 OpenEdition MVS is not running and the caller
         does not expect a return code.
  
  FFF8   OS/390 OpenEdition MVS is not running and the parameter
         list is too long.
  
  FFFA   Kernel termination or error with user in wait.
  
  FFFE   Normal end of Exec Phase 1, with multiple TCB/RBs.
  
  
  Source: OS/390  OpenMVS (BPX)
  
  System Action:  The system abnormally ends the program issuing
  the callable service.
  
  Programmer Response:
  
  Code   Response
  
  000D   The failing file system indicated that, should it fail,
         all of OS/390 OpenEdition MVS should be terminated also.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ...
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  FDxx   If xx is in the range of X'01' to X'7F', a signal was
         received causing termination and a dump to be taken.
         This condition is usually the result of an application
         programming exception.
         For a description of the signal represented by the
         value xx, please check the appropriate appendix,
         "BPXYSIGH - Signal Constants" or "Signal Defaults"
         in OS/390  OpenEdition Programming: Assembler
         Callable Services Reference.

  FFxx   If xx is in the range of X'01'to X'7F', a signal was
         received causing termination. This condition is usually
         the result of a process explicitly sending a terminating
         signal to either itself or to another process in the
         process group.

         value xx, please check the appropriate appendix
