Transaction1 abends doing a switch via an ISRT command to Transaction2, A7 abend code. Most basic A7 abend explanation is this:
The number of message segments inserted exceeds the number specified
in the SEGNO keyword of the TRANSACT macro.

What is a TRANSACT macro? What do I tell the system people to do?

The TRANSACT macro is part of the IMS Stage 1 definition and the SEGNO parameter defines the maximum number of output segments that the transaction can insert for each GU to the message queue. A value of 0 indicates that no check is made.

The standard transaction model is:

1. GU to message queue
2. Do some work
3. ISRT response
4. GU to message queue - if there is another message, go back to to step 2.

It looks like you are doing more inserts than the SEGNO parameter allows.
