It acts like USER is a reserved word within STRDBG.  For example, if you
type:

   EVAL EVAL

   EVAL QUAL

Or EVAL with other debug commands, you will get the same complaint, same
CPF7E15 error, et cetera.

Well, the fact that the debug tool doesn't display a particular variable
isn't necessarily cause for mass change to your programs.  That is, unless
the value of USER is critical to the debug process and cannot be determined
through other means.  I wouldn't change anything yet.  Although I haven't
landed on a solution - I did give it the old college try and haven't quite
given up yet - there may be some help from IBM or your service vendor on
this.  I'd recommend calling for help.

Do let us know what you find.
