SVC 013

SVC 013 is a Type 4 SVC issued by the ABEND macro, which initiates error processing for a task. The ABEND macro get a LOCAL lock and calls program IGC0101C in load module IEAVTRT2.

ABEND can request a full or tailored dump of virtual storage areas and control blocks pertaining to the tasks being abnormally terminated, and can specify that the entire job step be abnormally terminated. Before the task is terminated, an ESTAE exit gets control. This exit may recover the task and allow it to retry.
