Disclosed is a mechanism for detecting a storage overwrite of a computer program control block, the control block comprising one or more fields. For each field of the one or more fields, the mechanism provides an indication as to whether or not the field is intended to be updated subsequent to initialization of the control block. For each field for which the indication indicates that the field is not intended to be updated subsequent to initialization of the control block, the mechanism checks whether the field has been updated. Response to the checking indicating the field has been updated, the mechanism indicates that a storage overwrite of the computer program control block has occurred. |
