VR7.1 and TR 4.

For the archives, knowing what was the preceding message(s) and message details\context, as recorded in the spooled joblog of the server JOB(061219/GERALDK/QB5SERVER) [or another job with the same re-create], might benefit someone else. The following clarifies why there is a presumption that there might be a more pertinent preceding message.

For reference only: The same error message in an apparent older release server where the to-program QB5IDEAL was apparently OPM, the dump was an apparent side effect of a *prior* message that was logged in the server job. So very likely the preceding error is the origin for a problem, and the error\termination phase back then and still now, manifests that alignment error for which the /unmonitored/ effect according to the dump feature of the message identifier MCH0602 is to spool that information. Thus even if the unmonitored MCH0602 is a defect, probably the preceding error needs to be investigated first, as the source of an error which merely proliferates as further problem(s). An old APAR SE49401 was opened but then closed as unreproducible, so IMO having obtained a missing PTF possibly correcting the issue seems likely for that incident as well as the one recorded above:
