You probably have an non-printable character embedded in the job statement.
 I can reproduce the CI error by creating a job like this

!job [control G]foo,manager.sys

That's why the CI STREAM command reports cierr 1434.

The VSM Instruction Memory Protection Trap may be the result of some characteristic
of the erroneous job statment leading to corruption of streamx's stack. I believe
streamx does parameter substitution in job jcl so it may be tripping up on whatever this
non-printable character is. The CI stream command wouldn't be parsing the jcl in quite
the same way and it's also not a program.

If you have an editor that will display lines of files expanded as TDP will do using the
"exp" option you can list the job and see if any non-printable characters exist. If you don't
have such an editor you can take the more direct approach and delete the "job" statement
and re-enter it. It sounds like you had been modifying  this line of the file but only to try
different user names or maybe streamx does that for you too.

Hope this helps,
