Error description
bboradmp gets called from bboowork, for the 222 abterm, and
takes an svc dump.  abend222 among others should not have a
dump taken for it since it does not indicate a problem that
would need to be diagnosed.  The taking of the dump consumes
system resources unnecessarily.

The ESTAE and FRR routines suppress dumps for normal abends,
but the ARR routine does not.

In addition to the problem reported by APAR PQ59128, the
following problem is also being addressed:

(MD13442) The Server Region PC's to the Control Region as the
Control Region is going down.  Under the PC, it tries to do a
Transfer to route work to an ACRW thread.  The Transfer fails.
We already suppress dumps for a failure due to a stale PET if
the jobstep TCB is dying. We should also suppress dumps for
other transfer failures under these conditions.
Problem conclusion
Code has been added to the ARR; dumps will now be suppressed
for normal, expected, abends.

(MD13442) Support has been modified such that if a Transfer
fails and the jobstep TCB is dying, we should not abend
regardless of the failure return code.

APAR PQ59128 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401050 of
WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.
