AACA

  An invalid error code has been passed to the DFHTFP or DFHACP programs.

 

AAMA 

  There is an internal logic error in DFHAMP. 

 

AAMC 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager domain was able to complete successfully.

User Response:  Investigate the reason the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout.

 

AAMD 

  An unexpected return code has been received from DFHDMP. This is due to an internal logic error. 

  

AAMF 

  An unexpected return code has been received following a call to the kernel (KE) domain. This might be due to an internal logic error.

  

AAMH 

  An unexpected return code has been received following a call to DFHFCMT. This might be due to an internal logic error.

 

AAMI 

  An unexpected return code has been received following a call to DFHFCRL. This might be due to an internal logic error.

 

AAMJ 

  While installing a file, using RDO, a call was made to DFHFCFS to enable the file. An irrecoverable error was returned from DFHFCFS. 

 

AAMK 

  While installing a file, using RDO, a call was made to DFHFCDN. An irrecoverable error was returned from DFHFCDN.

User Response:  Inform the system programmer, Examine the trace and dump to identify the point of error. 

 

AAMN 

  There has been an unexpected return code from a call to DFHPRPT. This might be due to an internal logic error.

 

AAMO 

  An invalid return code was returned from DFHTOR, the CICS terminal object resolution program. 

 

AAMP 

  An unexpected return code has been received from DFHPUP. This might be due to an internal logic error. 

 

AAMQ 

  An attempt has been made to install a partner using RDO. However, the partner resource manager (PRM) is unavailable having failed to initialize during CICS initialization. 

User Response:  If you need to use the PRM, correct the problem which prevented the PRM from initializing, and restart CICS. 

 

AAMS 

  There has been an unexpected return code following a GETMAIN request to the storage manager. This is due to an internal logic error.

AAMT 

  There is an internal logic error in DFHAMP due to an unexpected return code from DFHTMP.

 

AAMZ 

  An unexpected return code has been received from DFHZCP. This is due to an internal logic error. 

 

AAM1 

  DFHXMCL has returned an unexpected response during the install of a transaction class. This can be caused by the task being purged during the install. 

If an error has occurred, at the time the error is detected, CICS issues a DFHXMnnnn console message, records an exception trace entry and takes a system dump. 

User Response:  Determine why the task has failed. If there is a system dump, use it together with the trace entry and the console message to resolve the problem. If there is no system dump, the task has been purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout. 

 

AAM2 

  DFHXMXD has returned an unexpected response during the install of a transaction definition. This can be caused by the task being purged during the install. 

 If an error has occurred, at the time the error is detected, CICS issues a DFHXMnnnn console message, records an exception trace entry and takes a system dump. 

 

AAOA 

  An application has issued a CPI verb which CICS does not support. The entry point referenced in the application program was resolved in the link edit stub, but the function requested could not be resolved when control passed to CICS. 

There are two possible reasons for this: You have linkedited your application program with a CPI stub which supports more function than this release of CICS.  The linkedit stub has been corrupted.

 An exception trace entry is also written.

 User Response:  At the time of the error, general register 0 points to an 8-byte character string which should match the name of the issued CPI call. Use the trace or the dump to verify that this character string is the name of a CPI function which is supported.

 If the character string is not an intelligible character string, the stub has probably been corrupted. 

 

AAOB 

  An application has issued a CPI verb which specifies more than eight parameters.

User Response:  Change your application program so that the correct number of parameters is specified on the CPI call.

 

AAOC 

  CPI Communications is invoked with an invalid number of parameters for call 

 User Response:  The exception trace point produced with this abend contains the incorrectly issued CPI Communications verb name. Use this to determine where the application program was in error and amend it accordingly. 

 

AAOD 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace. 

User Response:  Investigate the reason the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout.

 

AAOE 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace. 

User Response:  Investigate the reason the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout.

 

AAOF 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace. 

User Response:  Investigate the reason the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout.

 

AAOG 

  During the processing of CMACCP (accept conversation), CPI Communications detected that the application was attached with an unsupported sync level.

 User Response:  This condition is caused by a back-end CPI Communications transaction being attached with a sync level that is not CM_NONE (0) or CM_CONFIRM (1). 

Change the front-end transaction, (that is, the initiator of the conversation in the other system) so that it defines the sync level correctly.

 

AAOH

  Journaling of data sent on a CPI communications mapped conversation has failed. This condition is caused by a nonzero response from the CICS log manager. 

 User Response:  Use the dump to ascertain why the journal or log record could not be written correctly. If a journal record length error is indicated, TIOATDL may have been corrupted.

 

 AAOI

   The journaling of data received on a CPI Communications mapped conversation has failed.

 

 AAOJ 

  CPI Communications has detected an unexpected response from one of its internal routines. 

 User Response:  This is a CICS internal logic error. 

A level 2 trace for 'CP' of the transaction shows the course of events prior to this error. For example, the modules called and their parameters. The level 2 trace also provides details of the error itself. 

 

AAOK

   CPI Communications has detected an unexpected call to one of its internal routines.

 

 AAOL

   CPI Communications has made an invalid call to DFHLUC. 

 

 AAOM 

  The CPI Communications and the DFHZUSR state machines are out of synchronization.

  

 AAON 

  CPI Communications has detected an unexpected response from DFHLUC.

 

 AAOO 

  CPI Communications has been invoked with an invalid first parameter. The first parameter should be the code of the function to be performed. This is a CICS internal logic error.

 

 AAOP 

  The CPI Communications state machine has been requested to perform a state transition request that is considered to be an 'impossible' situation. 

There are two possible causes of this error:

   The CPC (conversation control block) has been overwritten in such a way that the conversation state has been altered, or

   There is an error in the CPI Communications state machine.

 

 AAOQ

   The return code generated by CPI Communications does not have an entry in the state table against the current CPI Communications verb.

This error is detected by the CPI Communications state machine.

  User Response:  This is a CICS internal logic error.

 A level 2 trace for 'CP' of the transaction shows the course of events prior to this error, for example, the modules called and their parameters. The level 2 trace also provides details of the error itself.

 

 AAOR 

  CPI Communications has detected an invalid value in the CPC (conversation control block).

 There are 2 possible causes of this error: 

   The CPC (conversation control block) has been overwritten, or

  There is an error in CPI Communications which causes it to reject valid values.

 

 AAOS

   CPI Communications has detected that the conversation state is RESET for a situation where this should not occur. That is, the conversation control block (CPC) is about to be deleted. 

 

 AAOT 

  While chaining through the CPCs (conversation control blocks) for a given conversation, CPI Communications detected that the chain was broken. 

 

 AAOU

   CPI Communications has detected an error in the TP_name or partner_LU_name while processing an initialize conversation request. The TP_name or partner_LU_name is obtained by lookup of the sym_dest_name in the partner resource table (PRT).

 There are two possible causes of this error.

 1.  The entry in the PRT contains invalid data, or

 2.  There is an error in the mechanism that returns the data from the PRT and interprets it.

  User Response:  A level 2 trace for 'CP' of the transaction shows the course of events prior to this error, for example, the modules called and their parameters. The level 2 trace also provides details of the error itself.

 

AAOV 

  CPI Communications has detected that its internal state table is corrupted.

 This error is detected by the CPI Communications state machine.

 

 AAOW

   CPI Communications has detected an internal logic error in DFHCPCLC.

  

AAOX 

  CPI Communications has detected a bad syncpoint return code which has been set on a synclevel 0 or 1 conversation. The bad return code is only expected on a synclevel 2 conversation. 

 

AAOY 

  CPI Communications detected an invalid LL field in the GDS records from which it was receiving on a mapped conversation.

 Although it is possible that the remote system is sending invalid records, it is more likely to be an error in the receive logic because DFHZARRC (a lower level receive module) also checks the LLs before passing them to CPI Communications. 

 User Response:  Use CICS traces and, possibly a VTAM trace, to determine the data that was sent between both systems. 

A level 2 CICS trace for 'CP' of the transaction documents the course of events prior to this error (such as the modules called and their parameters). The level 2 trace also provides details of the error itself. 

 

AAOZ 

  CPI Communications has detected an invalid ID field in the GDS records it was receiving on a mapped conversation. The exception trace point that accompanies this abend gives the ID field in data 3. The valid IDs are '12FF'X for application data and '12F1'X for null data.

  

AAO2 

  CPI Communications has detected an unexpected response from DFHLUC. 

 

AAO3 

  The CPI interface detected that a call was made to a CPI Communications function without CPI Communications being initialized. This implies that CPI Communications initialization failed while CICS was initializing. 

 An exception trace entry is also written when this event occurs.

 

AAO4 

  DFHZARL, or a module called by DFHZARL, has detected a logic error. This error is almost certainly caused by the module receiving invalid data or indicators from VTAM.

 System Action:  Before returning to the CPI Communications layer, DFHZARL calls DFHZNAC to clean up the session and put out messages on the CSNE log. CPI Communications abnormally terminates the transaction with a CICS transaction dump, and produces an exception trace entry.

 

User Response:  Check the CSNE log to determine the type of error.

 

AAO5

   The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace.

 

 User Response:  Investigate the reason why the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of deadlock timeout.

 

AAO7

 

  The CPI Communications syncpoint request handler has been passed an invalid DFHLUC parameter list.

 

AAO8

 

  The CPI Communications syncpoint request handler has been passed an invalid conversation control block (CPC).

 

AAO9

 

  A task has been purged either as a result of a purge from the master terminal operator via the CEMT transaction, or by the task being timed out after waiting for longer than the DTIMOUT (deadlock timeout) value specified for the transaction.

  

 ABAC

 

  An activity issued EXEC CICS RETURN (without the ENDACTIVITY option) but no events were processed during the activation. The activity was executed with a RUN command.

 

The EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command cannot handle this abend.

 

User Response:  Investigate why the activity did not process any events.

 

 ABAD

 

  An activity issued EXEC CICS RETURN ENDACTIVITY while there were activity completion events pending. The activity was executed with a RUN command.

 

The EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command cannot handle this abend.

 

 ABAE

 

  An activity issued EXEC CICS RETURN (without the ENDACTIVITY option) but no events were processed during the activation. The activity was executed with a LINK command.

 

System Action:  The task which issued the LINK is abnormally terminated with a CICS transaction dump. The EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command cannot handle this abend.

   

ABAF

 

  An activity issued EXEC CICS RETURN ENDACTIVITY while there were activity completion events pending. The activity was executed with a LINK command.

 

ABLA

 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace.

 

ABLB

 

  An error (INVALID, DISASTER, or unexpected EXCEPTION response) has occurred on a call to the storage manager (SM) domain. The domain that detected the original error provides an exception trace, a console message and, possibly, a system dump (depending on the options in the dump

table).

  

ABMA

 

  The user has supplied a terminal I/O area (TIOA) with an invalid data length that was either equal to zero or greater than the storage accounting length minus 12.

 

Alternatively, the length field of a header or trailer area provided by the application program is invalid (that is, not positive).

 

ABMB

 

  The user has specified a cursor position in the BMS output request. It is larger than the current screen size for the 3270 for which output is being built.

  

User Response:  Correct the program that specified the incorrect cursor location.

  

 ABMC

 

  The CMSG transaction is attempting to send a message to a greater number of terminals than is possible. There is no fixed maximum because the value depends on the other operands specified on the routing command.

 

ABMD

 

  DFHTPR or DFHTPP has issued a DFHDI TYPE=SEND and has received a return code other than "FUNCERR-REQUEST FOR CHANGE DIRECTION SIGNALED" or "NORESP"

  

ABME

 

  DFHTPR or DFHTPP has detected an invalid datastream or DFHWBBMS detected invalid forms data while processing a basic mapping support (BMS) request.

 

User Response:  If DFHTPR or DFHTPP issued the ABEND then examine the transaction dump for bad data in the TIOA. If the origin of the bad data is an application program, correct the program. If DFHWBBMS issued the ABEND then check the validity of the incoming forms data in the CICS trace.

 

ABMF

 

  The value specified for the length option of the basic mapping support (BMS) send map is greater than the length of the 'from' area.

 

User Response:  Redefine the value for the length option.

 

 ABMG

 

  The user has requested a basic mapping support (BMS) service that was not specified at system generation, or at initialization.

 

User Response:  Correlate services requested against options specified in the system generation of BMS.

  

ABMI

 

  The map specified for a BMS input mapping request was not an input map.

  

User Response:  Either define another input map or redefine the existing map.

 

 ABML

 

  The terminal control locate routine received invalid data from DFHRLR and returns with an error return code. DFHRLR is attempting to scan the TCT for a BMS ROUTE request with LIST=ALL or operator class or operator ID specified in the route list. The terminal control table may have been corrupted.

 

ABMM

 

  An invalid map was specified.

 

User Response:  Use the supplied dump to diagnose the problem. Register 6 contains the address of the BMS instruction being executed when the error was recognized.

   

ABMO

 

 The map specified for a BMS output mapping request was not an output map.

 

User Response:  Either define another output map or redefine the existing map.

   

ABMQ

 

  The query transaction (CQRY) has been initiated and either the task is not terminal-oriented, or the associated terminal is not defined to CICS

as a 3270 or SCSPRINT device. This abend will occur if CQRY is entered at a console, even when the console is a 3270 device, since the console has the

appearance to CICS of a keyboard/printer device. The CQRY transaction does not have an operator interface, and under normal conditions there is no need

for an operator to invoke CQRY or for a user transaction to START the CQRY transaction. CQRY is run automatically by CICS when a 3270 or SCSPRINT

device connects. In the transaction dump, register 8 contains the address of the TCTTE for the associated terminal. If register 8 contains zero, this indicates

that the task is not terminal-oriented.

 

User Response:  Ensure that the terminal associated with CQRY is of the 3270 or SCSPRINT family of devices.

 

ABMR

 

  The Page Retrieval transaction (CSPG) has been initiated but the task is not terminal-oriented.

 

User Response:  Ensure that a terminal is associated with the CSPG transaction.

 

 

ABMU

 

  The application program supplied an address that is not within region boundaries. The low-order 3 bytes of general register 1 in the transaction

dump contain the erroneous address. The high-order byte of register 1 indicates the address type as follows:

  

User Response:  Correct the application program that is supplying the erroneous address.

 

ABMV

 

  DFHRLR has detected an invalid route list entry.

 

User Response:  Check that the route list is correctly built with reserved field in the entry containing blank and a stopper of halfword X'FFFF' to terminate the list.

 

ABMX

 

  A text string passed to BMS contained a set attribute order that was invalid for one of the following reasons:

 

1.  The set attribute sequence was less than three characters.

2.  The attribute type was invalid.

 

ABMY

 

  BMS is building a TTP (Terminal Type Parameter) control block but the pagesize selected for a terminal by BMS is zero because either the default or alternate screensize has been defined as zero.

 

User Response:  Check the TERMINAL and TERMTYPE definitions which determined the attributes of the offending TCTTE.

  

ABMZ

 

  The address of the terminal I/O area (TIOA) in TCTTEDA was found to be zero.

 

ABM0

 

  The map specified for a basic mapping support (BMS) request could not be located. The map name in the COBOL program does not match the map name in front of the DFHMDI assembler macro. This error can occur when executing either a SEND MAP or RECEIVE MAP command

 

User Response:  Check if the map has been defined. If it has, check that it has been speelled correctly.

 

ABM1

 

  A basic mapping support (BMS) service is requested by a task associated with a terminal that is not supported by BMS. The request is not a routing request.

 

User Response:  Do not use terminals not supported by BMS for applications using BMS services.

  

ABM2

 

  No user data was supplied for this BMS request. That is, the address of a user data area was not found in either TCTTEDA or TCAMSIOA.

 

User Response:  The programmer must place the address of the data into TCTTEDA or TCAMSIOA, whichever is appropriate.

 

ABM3

 

  A BMS input or output request has been issued from a task that is not terminal-oriented.

 

User Response:  The task issuing a BMS input or output request must be attached to a terminal.

  

ABM4

 

  An invalid request response has been received to a temporary storage PUT or PUTQ request issued by BMS. The data passed to the temporary storage program has an invalid length.

  

ABM5

 

  A DFHTS TYPE=PURGE request has been issued with an invalid REQID. This incorrect request was issued by basic mapping support (BMS).

  

ABM6

   Transaction CSPS, scheduled internally by BMS, has not been installed.

  

User Response:  Install the transaction CSPS (Group DFHBMS).

 

ABM7

 

  The trailer specified to be used while building pages of text data is longer than the page.

 

User Response:  Correct the application program that issues the request with too long a trailer.

 

ABM8

 

  A BMS text request specified a value for the JUSTIFY option which is zero or too large for the page being built.

 

User Response:  Correct the application program that specified too large or zero value for the JUSTIFY option.

 

ABM9

 

  The text data overflow routines have been reentered while text overflow was in process. This condition occurs when the line requirements for the text header and/or trailer exceed the line capacity of the page for which data is being formatted.

 

User Response:  Reduce the number of lines required for the header and/or trailer or increase the page size of the terminal.

 

ABNA

 

  No route list was supplied with a route request received from the remote system.

  

ABNB

 

  Either the principal facility of the task is not a TCTTE of the correct type, or the task has no principal facility.

 

User Response:  Ensure that DFHTPS has not been specified as the initial program of a transaction other than CSPS. Check that the operator did not enter CSPS from the terminal.

 

ABNC

 

  An attempt to access a temporary storage queue failed.

  

User Response:  Ensure that temporary storage is correctly generated.

 

ABNE

 

  An error response was received from an invocation of a BMS TYPE=ROUTE or TYPE=STORE request.

 

User Response:  Check that BMS was correctly generated.

 

ABNF

 

  The transaction was not in send mode when it sent data to the remote system.

 

ABNG

 

  An attach request was received from the remote system without any data indicating the reason for the request.

 

ABNH

 

  An attempt to ship data to the remote system failed.

 

ABNI

 

  CICS could not find a profile for an LU6.2 transaction routing request.

 

User Response:  Either you have specified an incorrect name in the PROFILE parameter of an EXEC CICS ALLOCATE command, or you have not installed the profile. Correct the error before resubmitting the transaction.

 

ABNJ

 

  The task was purged before a GETMAIN request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The task that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace.

 

User Response:  Investigate the reason why the task was purged. It was purged either by the master terminal operator or as a result of a deadlock timeout.

 

ABNK

 

  An error (INVALID, DISASTER or unexpected EXCEPTION response) has occurred on a call to the storage manager (SM) domain. The

domain that detected the original error provides an exception trace, a console message and, possibly, a system dump (depending on the options specified in

the dump table).

  

ACAA

 

  This explanation applies to the two transaction abend codes, ACAA and ACAD.  CICS cannot find a match for a function code in the language

definition table because the parameterized resource definition contains an unrecognized resource type code. The abend code issued depends on the

DFHCAP operation that was invoked before the error occurred:

  

ACAI

 

  An internal error has occurred when module DFHCAP was invoked. There was an invalid function code for a domain call to DFHCAP.

  

AEC1

 

  An attempt has been made to use the Command Level Interpreter (CECI) or the Enhanced Master Terminal (CEMT) or an RDO (CEDA, CEDB, CEDC) transaction on a terminal that is not supported.

 

User Response:  Use a terminal that is supported by the Command Level Interpreter, Enhanced Master Terminal, or RDO transaction.

 

AEC2

 

  An attempt has been made to use the Command Level Interpreter (CECI) or the Enhanced Master Terminal (CEMT) or an RDO (CEDA, CEDB, CEDC) transaction on a display terminal of size less than 24 X 80.

 

User Response:  Use a display terminal that is supported by the Command Level Interpreter or Enhanced Master Terminal or RDO transaction.

 

 AEC3

 

  An unsuccessful attempt has been made to call VS COBOL II to initialize a thread (for the first VS COBOL II program in a CICS transaction).

 

User Response:  Check your library setup to ensure that all of the VS COBOL II interface modules are present.

 

AEC4

 

  An unsuccessful attempt has been made to call VS COBOL II to initialize a run-unit (for any VS COBOL II program in a CICS transaction).

 

User Response:  Check your library setup to ensure that all of the VS COBOL II interface modules are present.

 

AEC5

 

  An unexpected error has been encountered by C/370 during the THREAD INITIALIZATION phase while attempting to execute a C language program.

 

System Action:  The return code received from C/370 is placed into the field EIBRESP2; then the transaction is abnormally terminated. The program is disabled.

 

User Response:  Refer to the error message(s) provided by C/370 to determine the cause of the problem.

 

AEC6

 

  An unexpected error has been encountered by C/370 during the RUNUNIT INITIALIZATION phase while attempting to execute a C language program.

 

System Action:  The return code received from C/370 is placed into the field EIBRESP2; then the transaction is abnormally terminated. The program is disabled.

 

User Response:  Refer to the error message(s) provided by C/370 to determine the cause of the problem.

 

AEC7

 

  Language Environment has encountered an unexpected error during the THREAD INITIALIZATION phase while attempting to execute a Language Environment enabled program. The return code received from Language Environment is placed into the field EIBRESP2.

 

System Action:  Message DFHAP1200 is issued and the transaction is abnormally terminated. The program is disabled.

 

User Response:  Refer to the error message or messages issued by Language Environment to determine the cause of the problem.

 

 

AEC8

 

  Language Environment has encountered an unexpected error during the RUNUNIT INITIALIZATION phase while attempting to execute a Language Environment enabled program.

 

System Action:  The return code received from Language Environment is placed into the field EIBRESP2. Message DFHAP1200 is issued and the transaction is abnormally terminated. The program is disabled.

 

User Response:  Refer to the error message or messages issued by Language Environment to determine the cause of the problem.

 

 

AEC9

 

  Language Environment has encountered an unexpected error during the RUNUNIT BEGIN INVOCATION phase while attempting to execute a Language Environment enabled program.

 

System Action:  The return code received from Language Environment is placed into the field EIBRESP2. Message DFHAP1200 is issued and the transaction is abnormally terminated. The program is disabled.

 

User Response:  Refer to the error message or messages issued by Language Environment to determine the cause of the problem.

 

 

AEDA

 

  The CEDF transaction has been started with an invalid start code. This could be the result of attempting to start the execution diagnostic facility (EDF) with EXEC CICS START(CEDF).

 

User Response:  Use the transaction dump to determine why the start has failed.

 

AEDB

 

  DFHEDFP has been passed an invalid EDFXA. This is an internal CICS error.

 

 AEDC

 

  The program EDF has terminated because a GETMAIN request to the storage manager failed.

  

AEDD

 

  CICS has attempted to attach the EDF task to display the user request but the attach has failed.

 

User Response:  Use the transaction dump to determine why the attach has failed.

 

 AEDE

 

  CICS has suspended the user task to allow the EDF task to complete but an error has occurred while performing the suspend.

  

AEDF

 

  CICS has suspended the user task to allow the EDF task to complete. The user task has been purged while suspended, before control was returned from EDF.

 

User Response:  The task was probably purged by the master terminal operator. Investigate the reason why the task was purged. This may have been in an attempt to clear the system which appeared to be deadlocked for some reason.

 

AEDG

 

  CICS has suspended the user task to allow the EDF task to complete. The user task has gone away while suspended, before control was returned from EDF.

 

AEDH

 

 nbsp; An error occurred when CICS called the Program Manager in order to discover details of the user program that has invoked EDF.

  

AED1

 

  This abend is produced as a result of either:

 

   An attempt to use the execution diagnostic facility (EDF) on an unsupported terminal,

 

   Using the temporary storage browse transaction (CEBR) on an unsupported device, or

 

   An attempt to initiate the temporary storage browse transaction (CEBR) with a non-terminal principal facility.

  

AED2

 

  The program EDF has terminated a task and placed this abend code in the terminated task's TCA. This occurs because execution of EDF is

about to be abnormally terminated. A probable reason for EDF being terminated is that a line, control unit, or a terminal has been put out of service.

  

User Response:  Use a terminal that is supported as a display terminal by EDF. A CICS transaction dump of the task terminated with this abend code is available for review.

  

AED3

 

  The program EDF has terminated a task and placed this abend code in the terminated task's TCA. The termination occurs because execution of EDF is about to be abnormally terminated.

 

One possible cause of an abend in EDF is incorrect data being sent to the terminal by the user task.

  

AED4

 

  An internal logic error has been detected in EDF module DFHEDFP.

   

AED5

 

  An internal logic error was been detected in EDF. Insufficient dynamic storage was pre-allocated.

 

System Action:  EDF is terminated abnormally with dumps having dump codes CXSP, RMIN, PAGE, LDIN. The user task continues.

 

User Response:  The problem may be avoided by less complex user interactions with EDF.

 

AED6

 

  An internal logic error was detected in EDF.

 

System Action:  EDF is terminated abnormally with dumps having dump codes CXSP, RMIN, PAGE, LDIN. The user task continues.

 

User Response:  The problem may be avoided by less complex user interactions with EDF.

 

AED7

 

  The installed definition of the transaction CEDF has a TWA size which is too small.

 

User Response:  If you have an updated copy of the CEDF transaction installed, ensure that you have a TWA size at least as big as the one defined by the

IBM supplied definition.

 

AED8

 

  A terminal control error has occurred in DFHEDFX.

  

AED9

 

  A temporary storage error has occurred in EDF. This could be caused by an input/output error on temporary storage or because temporary storage data is full.

 

AEIA

 

Note: The description of this abend also applies to AEID to AEI9, AEXC, AEXF, AEXG, AEXI to AEXL, AEXV to AEXX, AEX0 to AEX9, AEYA to AEYC,

AEYE to AEY3, AEY7, and AEZE to AEZQ.

 

  The EXEC interface program issues an abend when an exceptional condition has occurred but the command does not have the RESP option

(or NOHANDLE option), or the application program has not executed an EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION command for that condition. This will cause

DFHEIP to take the system action for the condition in question. In most cases, the system action will be to abend the transaction.

 

Analysis: Because these abend codes are directly related to exceptional conditions that can be specified in HANDLE CONDITION commands, the

application programmer should decide whether the condition is one that should be handled by the application (for example ENDFILE), or one that requires

modifications to the application or CICS tables.

 

User Response:  Change the application program either to prevent the condition recurring, to check it by using the RESP option, or to handle the condition

when it does occur (by using the EXEC CICS HANDLE CONDITION command). If necessary, use the contents of the EIBRESP2 field or the EIBRCODE in

the EIB to assist in determining the cause of the exceptional condition.

 

AEID  EOF condition not handled. 

AEIE  EODS condition not handled.

AEIG  INBFMH condition not handled. 

AEIH  ENDINPT condition not handled. 

AEII  NONVAL condition not handled. 

AEIJ  NOSTART condition not handled.

 

AEIK  TERMIDERR condition not handled. 

           The four character terminal id is not defined to a local or remote CICS on a START command. This generally means that the terminal id is not defined to the SYSM CICS version. In plain words it means CICS has not identified the terminal the transaction is run on.

 

AEIL  FILENOTFOUND condition not handled. 

           Data set ID or the file cannot be found in the CICS file control table (FCT).

 

AEIM  NOTFND condition not handled. 

            A particular record on which the update lock is being taken or which is being trying to read is not found.

 

AEIN  DUPREC condition not handled. 

          An attempt was made to add a record to a data set or file in which the same key or the record already exists.
 

AEIO  DUPKEY condition not handled. 

           DUPKEY occurs if a record is retrieved via an alternate index in which the key that is used is not unique. A record has been accessed by way of an alternate index with the NONUNIQUEKEY attribute, and another alternate index record with the same key follows

 

AEIP  INVREQ condition not handled. 

  • all the scenarios it can happen in

     Invalid file control request according to the CICS file control table.

     A REWRITE, or a DELETE, was issued but no previous READ with UPDATE command was issued.

     A READNEXT, READPREV, ENDBR, or RESETBR was issued but no previous STARTBR was issued.

     A WRITE was issued, but the WS key field did not match the RIDFLD.

     A DELETE command with the RIDFLD option specified is issued for a VSAM data set when a READ UPDATE command is outstanding.

     Following a READ UPDATE command for a data set, a WRITE or READ UPDATE command is issued for the same data set before exclusive control is released.

     The data area specified in the RIDFLD is not the same one in all the commands of a browse.

     An attempt is made to start a browse with a REQID already in use for another browse.

     A RETURN command with the Commarea option is issued in a program that is not at the highest logical level.

     A RETURN command with the Transid option is issued in a task that is not associated with a terminal.

 

AEIQ  IOERR condition not handled. 

            An I/O error occurred; (It can be during Read, Write , Browse etc. ).

 

AEIR  NOSPACE condition not handled.

           Occurs if no space is available when a new record is added to a VSAM and the condition is not handled. Some new blocks have to allocated and is an admin level job

 

AEIS  NOTOPEN condition not handled. 

          The data set or Vsam is not open. Applications generally don't see this abend. Instead, they should handle the condition AEXL.

 

AEIT  ENDFILE condition not handled.

            Occurs if an end-of-file condition is detected during a browse and no more records exits after doing a ReadNext or Read Prev..

 

AEIU  ILLOGIC condition not handled. 

           Occurs if a VSAM error occurs that does not fall within one of the other CICS/VS response categories.

 

AEIV  LENGERR condition not handled. 

The various scenarios under which Length Error might occur

FILE CONTROL:

 The length option is not specified for an input (without the set option) or output operation involving variable-length records.

 The length specified for an output operation exceeds the maximum record size; the record is truncated.

 The length of a record read during an input operation (with the into option) exceeds the value specified in the length option; the record is truncated, and the data area supplied in the length option is set to the actual length of the record.

 An incorrect length is specified for an input or output operation involving fixed-length records.

TEMPORARY STORAGE CONTROL:

 Occurs if the length of the stored data is greater than the value specified by the length option for move-mode input operations.

 Occurs if the length of data received by an input request that specifies the into option exceeds the value specified by the length or tolength option.


In a nut shell

The record length (01 RECORD-LENGTH PIC S9(4) COMP VALUE...) specified in working-storage does not match the record length stored on the file
The calculated record length, obtained from adding up the number of characters defined in the working storage layout does not match the specified record length (RECORD-LENGTH) or the length stored on the file . The picture given to RECORD-LENGTH is not stored as a two byte field. Usually this error occurs because the picture is S9(8) instead of S9(4) or is not COMP.

 

AEIW  QZERO condition not handled.

          Occurs when the destination (QUEUE) accessed by a READQ TD is empty.

 

 AEIZ  ITEMERR condition not handled.

             Occurs when the item number specified or implied by a READQ TS, or a WRITEQ TS with the rewrite option, is invalid; or if the QUEUE referred to in a WRITEQ TS cannot be found.

 

AEI0  PGMIDERR condition not handled. 

Occurs if a program or map cannot be loaded into memory. In order, most likely first:

 The program is disabled (compiled while an intercept was set in XPED).

 The program was never compiled

 The program is not spelled correctly, or contains lower-case letters.

 The variable for the program/map name is 5 bytes long, rather than the correct 8 bytes.

 

AEI1  TRANSIDERR condition not handled.

AEI2  ENDDATA condition not handled. 

AEI3  INVTSREQ condition not handled.

AEI4  EXPIRED condition not handled.

AEI8  TSIOERR condition not handled. 

          Occurs if there is an unrecoverable temp storage I/O error.

AEI9  MAPFAIL condition not handled.

Occurs if the data to be mapped has a length of zero or does not contain a set buffer address (SBA) sequence. In order, most likely first:

 In test, the WSCA copybook length does not match the DFHCOMMAREA FILLER.

 In production, the client has shut down their workstation, or closed Passport, with a CICS screen still active.

 

AELA

AEXC  RESIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEXF  ESCERROR condition not handled.

 

AEXG  UOWLNOTFOUND condition not handled.

 

AEXI  TERMERR condition not handled.

 

AEXJ  ROLLEDBACK condition not handled.

 

AEXK  END condition not handled.

 

AEXL  DISABLED condition not handled.

            The data set or Vsam is not open. Application should be checked for DISABLED, and display a message to the user, rather than abending. On test CICS /native CICS screen after this abend, use DPOC to open the file or manually go the native CICS screen and open the file.

 

AEXU  NOTPOSS condition not handled.

 

AEXV  VOLIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEXW  SUPPRESSED condition not handled.

 

AEXX  TASKIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEXY

 

 The executing transaction has been purged before control could be returned. This is sometimes the result of a task being cancelled/forced by Operations. It also occurs for A+ Host Listeners, at CICS shutdown.

This can arise when the transaction is purged while 

   A CICS command was being processed

   The transaction was waiting to be dispatched

 

AEXZ

 

  A command has failed due to a serious failure in a CICS component (resource manager). It usually means a problem with the data set. At ADP, this generally happens on test CICS after a checkin/LI function. On native CICS after this abend, issue a new copy to the program i.e. load module

 

System Action:  The transaction is abnormally terminated with abend code AEXZ. CICS takes a transaction dump, unless module DFHDUIO is not loaded.

 

User Response:  Use the transaction dump to determine the cause of the failure.  

 

AEX0  TCIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEX1  DSNNOTFOUND condition not handled.

 

AEX2  LOADING condition not handled.

 

AEX3  MODELIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEX4  UOWNOTFOUND condition not handled.

 

AEX5  PARTNERIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEX6  PROFILEIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEX7  NETNAMEIDERR condition not handled.

 

AEX8  LOCKED condition not handled.

 

AEX9  RECORDBUSY condition not handled.

 

AEYA  INVERRTERM condition not handled.

 

AEYB  INVMPSZ condition not handled.

 

AEYC  IGREQID condition not handled.

 

AEYD

 

  A transaction has requested that CICS to access (read it or write it or create it) an area to which the transaction itself did not have access.. This occurred when an invalid storage area was passed to CICS as an output parameter on an EXEC CICS command.

 If command protection is activated by the CMDPROT(YES) option in the system initialization table (SIT), the AEYD transaction abend can occur.

 

User Response:  Examine the trace to find the exception trace entry created by DFHEISR and then identify the parameter in error. If the abend is handled,

EXEC CICS ASSIGN ASRASTG, ASRAKEY, ASRASPC, and ASRAREGS give additional information about the abend. At the time of the abend, register 2

points to the storage area at fault.

 

To prevent a recurrence of the abend, correct the program code. Changing one or more of the following options might alleviate the problem:

    Correct the code in error in the transaction issuing the EXEC CICS command in order to supply a valid storage area.

    If storage protection is active, change the EXECKEY on the CEDA definition for the program that issued the EXEC CICS command from USER to CICS.

    If storage protection is active, change the TASKDATAKEY attributes on the transaction definition from CICS to USER. 

    If transaction isolation is active, change the ISOLATE attribute on the transaction definition from YES to NO.

 

AEYE  INVLDC condition not handled.

 

AEYG  JIDERR condition not handled.

            Occurs if the specified journal file identifier does not exist in the journal control table (JCT). The primary function of the JCT is to register the control information of the system log and journal files.

 

AEYH  QIDERR condition not handled.

            Occurs when the symbolic name identifying the QUEUE to be used with TS or TD requests cannot be found That is the Queue name or identifier used cannot be found in DCT (Destination control table)

 

AEYJ  DSSTAT condition not handled.

AEY0  INVEXITREQ condition not handled.

 

AEY1  INVPARTNSET condition not handled.

 

AEY2  INVPARTN condition not handled.

 

AEY3  PARTNFAIL condition not handled.

 

AEY6

 

  Internal logic error in DFHUEM. This arises when using EXITALL to DISABLE an exit program from all exit points for which it has been

enabled. The entire user exit table has been scanned and all associations of the program have been found. But the activation count for the program in its exit

program block indicates there should be more associations (for example, the activation count has not been reduced to zero). The user exit table and

associated control blocks (EPBs and EPLs) are out of step and have probably been corrupted.

  

AEY7  NOTAUTH condition not handled.

 

AEY8

 

  No DSA was found on the chain while trying to free dynamic storage for an assembler language program using an EXEC CICS command.

 

 User Response:  Ensure that the DFHEIENT, DFHEISTG, and DFHEIEND macro invocations are correctly positioned and retry. If the error persists, you will need further assistance.  

  

AEY9

 

  The DB2 plan is not authorized to CICS, or DB2 is inactive.

  Or one of the following:

 

   An EXEC CICS command has been issued that is not supported by the EXEC interface program DFHEIP.

 

   A transaction has issued an EXEC CICS command which is supported in principle by the EXEC interface program DFHEIP, but for which the prerequisite  function has not been included in the current CICS start-up.

 

   A non-CICS command has been issued via an application "stub" (expansion of a DFHRMCAL macro), and the program DFHERM has detected that the  necessary non-CICS support is not available.

 

   An attempt has been made to use remote resources, but the local SYSID has been specified in an EXEC CICS command, or vice versa.

 

   An attempt has been made to use remote resources, but ISC is not supported.

 

   An EXEC CICS command contains an invalid AID or CONDITION identifier. This indicates that the EXEC CICS command has become corrupted.

 

User Response:  Check that the sysid specified and the resource names were correct. If not, notify the system programmer. Either the command (or an

application stub) has become corrupted, or the unavailable function needs to be generated (CICS command), ENABLEd (non-CICS command), or

exceptionally the non-CICS support has suffered damage and is attempting to withdraw itself from the CICS system.

  

AEZA

 

  A transaction has been defined with a TASKDATALOC(ANY), but the programs within the transaction are running amode 24. The exec

interface program is therefore is unable to access the TCA for the application. Furthermore, any reference to the EIB would cause the transaction to fail with

an OC4 protection exception.

  

AEZB

 

  A transaction has been defined with a TASKDATALOC(ANY), and the application is attempting to call a task related user exit. However the

task related user exit has been linkedited AMODE 24 and enabled with the LINKEDITMODE option, thereby directing CICS to invoke it in AMODE 24. An

AMODE 24 task related user exit cannot run when the calling application is running with TASKDATALOC(ANY), as this would cause a protection exception,

or a storage overwrite.

  

User Response:  Either redefine and install a new definition for the transaction with TASKDATALOC(BELOW), or modify the task related user exit so that it is invoked in AMODE 31.

 

AEZC

 

  A transaction has been defined with a TASKDATALOC(ANY), but a program within the transaction is defined to run AMODE 24. CICS cannot

invoke the AMODE 24 program when the transaction is running with TASKDATALOC(ANY), as this would cause a protection exception, or a storage

overwrite.

 

 User Response:  Either redefine and install a new definition for the transaction with TASKDATALOC(BELOW), or relink the program as AMODE 31.

 

 AEZD

 

  An attempt has been made to run a program defined as EXECKEY(USER) as part of a transaction defined as TASKDATAKEY(CICS). These

attributes are incompatible and the transaction is abended. This incompatibility could occur as a result of the program definition being autoinstalled. See the

CICS Customization Guide and the CICS Resource Definition Guide for more information about program autoinstall.

 

User Response:  Redefine and install a new definition either for the transaction with TASKDATAKEY(USER), or for the program with EXECKEY(CICS).

 

If this abend occurs when running a CICS transaction, a possible cause is that you are not using the CICS-supplied definition for the program. If you are using

your own copies of CICS-supplied program definitions, they must be defined as EXECKEY(CICS).

  

AEZE  CHANGED condition not handled.

 

AEZF  PROCESSBUSY condition not handled.

AFCB

 

  Module DFHEIFC issued a resource level security check (RSLC) request to module DFHXSRC and received a response other than OK or

EXCEPTION.

 

User Response:  Examine the trace to find the exception trace entry created by DFHXSRC at the time of the error. Use this trace entry to determine the

cause of the return code from DFHXSRC.

  

AFCC

 

  An internal logic error was detected when calling the file control request processing module DFHFCFR. Either DFHFCFR returned an INVALID

response to its caller indicating an error in the caller's parameter list, or DFHFCFR passed back a return code that was not recognized by its caller.

  

AFCE

 

  A GETMAIN for FFLE storage has failed.

  User Response:  Retry the failed transaction.

 

AFCF

 

  A deadlock has been detected between two or more tasks issuing file control requests.

  

User Response:  Examine this transaction and other transactions in the system that update the same files to find the cause of the deadlock, then correct

the error.

 

When transactions update several files within the same unit of work, all transactions should update these files in the same order. A transaction that abends

AFCF may be retried by specifying RESTART(YES) in the transaction definition and by coding a suitable DFHREST program.

  

AFCG

 

  A transaction has issued a sequence of file control requests that would cause the file to deadlock itself. This response arises for different reasons depending upon the file type.

  

AFCH

 

  The transaction has issued a request for a remote shared data table for which it has an active browse, but in the meantime the table has been

disabled or closed by the owning CICS system, or the owning CICS system has failed.

  

User Response:  In the application owning region, take whatever action normally follows the issue of a FORCE request in, or the failure of, the file owning CICS system.

  

AFCJ

 

  DFHFCU issued a call to DFHFCFS to open a file. A purged error was returned from DFHFCFS because the task has been waiting for a

resource longer than the DTIMEOUT interval specified for the CSFU transaction.

  

User Response:  Examine the dump to determine the cause of the error. A system dump can be produced by adding the appropriate dump table entry using

the CEMT SET TRDUMPCODE command.

  

 

AFCK

 

  The transaction issued a file update request (READ UPDATE, WRITE or DELETE) against an RLS mode data set for which a DFSMSdss non-BWO backup was in progress.

  

User Response:  All new file update requests are prohibited when a non-BWO backup is in progress for an RLS mode data set. This restriction is

automatically lifted when the backup completes. (A non-BWO backup is any type of backup operation other than a Backup While Open backup.) When the

backup has completed, retry the transaction.

 

 

AFCL

 

  During the loading of a Shared Data Table by the CFTL transaction, a call to the CICS Transaction Manager has returned a response (such as

DISASTER) after which normal processing could not continue.

 

System Action:  Message DFHFC0949 is issued. Loading of the data table is terminated and CFTL abends.

  

AFCM

 

  During the loading of a data table by the CFTL transaction, an abend was detected, or a domain call returned a response (such as

DISASTER) after which normal processing could not continue.

 

System Action:  A message is issued (one of DFHFC0945, DFHFC0946, or DFHFC0947). Loading of the data table is terminated and CFTL abends.

 

User Response:  If this abend is produced as a result of an abend during loading, message DFHFC0945 is issued. If it is a result of a domain call failure,

depending on which domain the failure was returned by, one of the messages DFHFC0946 or DFHFC0947 is issued. Refer to the description of the message

for further information and guidance.

  

AFCN

 

  The transaction issued a file request that caused file control to attempt to create a journal record but the record was too large for the journal

buffer to accommodate. This indicates that a journal referenced in the file definition is using an MVS logstream, which in turn, is using a coupling facility

structure which has been defined with a MAXBUFSIZE parameter less than the recommended 64000.

  

User Response:  Redefine the coupling facility structure that the logstream is using with a MAXBUFSIZE parameter of 64000. The journal in error can be the

forward recovery log or the journal used for auto-archiving. If the module that detected the error is DFHDMPCA, the error is associated with a journal

referenced in the definition of the CSD (DFHCSD).

  

 

AFCO

 

  An attempt was made to attach a transaction specifying DFHDTLX as the program to be given control, but the transaction was not internally attached by CICS.

 

DFHDTLX is for use by CICS system transaction CFTL. This loads a Shared Data Table.

  

User Response:  Establish why an attempt was made to attach CFTL illegally, or why a transaction definition specified DFHDTLX as the program to be given control.

  

AFCR

 

  The program issued a file control request against a file opened in RLS mode.  While executing this request, CICS detected that the SMSVSAM server address space had failed.

 

AFCS

 

  The program issued a file control request against a file opened in RLS mode.  VSAM was unable to perform this request because the SMSVSAM server address space was inactive.

 

User Response:  Retry the transaction when the server is available again.

  

AFCT

 

  The program has made a file control request against a file opened in RLS mode.  The SMSVSAM server has been recycled since an earlier

RLS request from the same unit of work. The same unit of work cannot issue requests against two different instances of the SMSVSAM server. Note that this

abend will occur even if the earlier request was not successful.

  

User Response:  Resubmit the transaction.

  

AFCU

 

  A program made a file control request against a file that is being accessed in VSAM RLS mode. The underlying data set is in lost locks state.

File control requests are not allowed against a data set that is in lost locks state.

  

AFCV

 

  A request made against a file opened in RLS mode was unable to acquire a record lock. It waited for the lock, but the wait time exceeded the

maximum wait time applicable to that request.

  

AFCW

 

  The program issued a file control request against a file opened in RLS mode.  VSAM RLS detected that this request would cause a deadlock.

This transaction is abended in order to break the deadlock chain.

 

AFCY

 

  The transaction issued a file request resulting in a call to the main file control program (DFHFCFR). During the processing of the request the

transaction was purged (that is, was the subject of an explicit PURGE or FORCEPURGE request, was timed out, or was selected by CICS for termination in

an attempt to alleviate an SOS condition). A "purged" response was returned from DFHFCFR to its caller.

  

AFCZ

 

  The transaction issued a file request resulting in a call to the main file control program (DFHFCFR). A "disastrous error" response was

returned from DFHFCFR to its caller.

 

AFC0

 

  An attempt has been made to update a file after file control restart failed.

  

AFC2

 

  DFHFCU issued a call to DFHFCFS to open a file. A disastrous error was returned from DFHFCFS.

 

 AFC7

 

  The CICS definition file (CSD) manager (DFHDMPCA) issued a request to DFHFCFS to enable, open or close the DFHCSD file. A "disastrous

error" response was returned from DFHFCFS to DFHDMPCA.

 

AFDA

 

  An attempt was made to attach a transaction specifying DFHFCQT as the program to be given control, but the transaction was not internally

attached by CICS.

  

AFDB

 

  An attempt was made by CICS to internally attach a transaction specifying DFHFCQT as the program to be given control, and the transaction

id was other than CFQS or CFQR.

  

AFDC

 

  CICS system transaction CFQS has failed due to a serious error. An attempt will be made to reattach the transaction. CICS messages should

indicate the cause of the error.

  

AFDD

 

  CICS system transaction CFQR has failed due to a serious error. An attempt will be made to reattach the transaction. CICS messages should

indicate the cause of the error.

  

AFDE

 

  An attempt was made to attach a transaction specifying DFHFCRD as the program to be given control, but the transaction was not internally

attached by CICS.

  

AFDF

 

  An attempt was made to attach a transaction specifying DFHFCOR as the program to be given control, but the transaction was not internally

attached by CICS.

  

AFDG

 

  CICS system transaction CFOR has failed due to a serious error. CICS messages should indicate the cause of the error.

  

AFDH

 

  VSAM has returned a response indicating that the RLS lock structure in the coupling facility is full. VSAM RLS is unable to create any new locks.

 

This abend code is usually issued from various CICS systems residing within the same sysplex.

  

AGMA

 

  An attempt to initiate the good morning message transaction was made without specifying a termid for it to be displayed.

  

AICA

 

  Program in infinite loop, A task has been executing for longer than the runaway time interval (defined by the ICVR operand on the system initialization table macro, DFHSIT) without giving up control. The runaway task condition indicates a possible loop in the application.

 This indicates either a logical loop or that the system is overloaded, ultimately it will bring the whole CICS down. There are CICS parameters that determine how long a task can run without giving up control. The ICVR parameter in the CICS SIT table can be used to specify a value for all tasks running in  CICS, or you can specify a RUNAWAY value when a transaction is defined.

User Response:  Check for Infinite loops. There are two approaches to identifying loops in user programs. You can use the trace table, or you can look in the transaction dump.

  Sometimes when monitoring a program with CA Intertest for CICS, the program may receive an AICA abend. The same program can be execute without being monitored and it runs to a successful completion.

returned as the transaction had been explicitly cancelled.

  

AICH

 

  The task was purged before a request to the storage manager (SM) domain was able to complete successfully. The domain that first detected

the purged condition will have provided an exception trace.

  

AICJ

 

  An error (INVALID, DISASTER or unexpected EXCEPTION response) has occurred on a call to the storage manager (SM) domain. The

domain that detected the original error will have provided an exception trace, a console message and, possibly, a system dump (depending on the options

specified in the dump table).

  

AICK

 

  Module DFHEIIC has issued a resource level security check (RSLC) request to module DFHXSRC and received a response other than OK or EXCEPTION.

  

AICL

 

  DFHEIIC detected an invalid function code in the command level parameter list.  This is caused either by a storage overwrite or a CICS internal logic error.

AISA

 

  The mirror transaction (CSMI) has been attached from some facility other than a terminal. This is not permitted.

  

User Response:  Using the dump, check the field TCAFCAAA to identify the invalid attach.

 

AISB

 

  The mirror transaction (CSMI) has detected errors in the data passed to it from the attaching transaction.

  

AISC

 

  The mirror transaction (CSMI) has not received a TIOA from the terminal.

  

AISD

 

  The mirror program executed the request and received a nonzero return code as a result. The data flow control state of the intersystem link

being used was such that this information could not be returned normally.

 

AISF

 

  The CICS mirror program DFHMIRS has been attached in an unsupported manner.  The principal facility for the mirror transaction is defined as

APPC, however the conversation is unmapped.

  

AISG

 

  The mirror program executed the request and produced the reply. This would not be sent because the data flow control state of the

intersystem link was such that this could not be done.

  

AISH

 

  The new connection task, CSNC, has been invoked in an incorrect manner (for example, from a terminal or via an EXEC CICS START request).

  

AISI

 

  A function shipping request was passed by DFHEIP to DFHISP. This was found to be invalid by the transformer, DFHXFP.

  

AISJ

 

  The IRC control task CSNC has abended because the attempt to LINK to DFHCRR failed.

  

AISK

 

  The user transaction has been abnormally terminated during the execution of a function shipping request on an APPC session. This has

happened because the mirror transaction on the remote system has abnormally terminated, and caused a request for syncpoint rollback to be sent across

the session. CICS abends the user transaction in these circumstances so that function shipping remains transparent to the transaction.

  

AISL

 

  The LU services manager transaction has been started directly from a user terminal. This is not permitted.

  

AISN

 

  Task CSNC attempted to acquire a SUSPEND TOKEN to enable it to suspend itself until further work arrives. The attempt failed.

 

AISO

 

  Task CSNC attempted to suspend itself, awaiting further work. The attempt failed.

 

AISP

 

  A mirror transaction (transaction identifiers CSHR, CSM1, CSM2, CSM3, CSM5, or CSMI) has been invoked with an invalid principal facility.

The mirror transaction executes with an MRO session, an LU6.1 session or an APPC session as its principal facility.

  

AISQ

 

  An EXEC CICS command has been issued against a CPI Communications session. A CPI Communications session is one that has a

CPI-Communications Control Block (CPC) associated with it.

  

AISR

 

  The CICS Inter-Region Session Recovery Program (DFHCRR) has been invoked in an incorrect manner, for example, from a terminal.

 

AISS

 

  A security violation has occurred while CICS was attempting to start a conversation with a remote APPC system. The security access level of

the requestor was insufficient to access the transaction on the connected APPC system. Depending on the nature of the request and the way security has

been set up, the requestor with an insufficient access level can be the local CICS system, the requesting transaction, or the terminal user.

 

Note:  DTP programs do not abend with code AISS after a security failure in the remote region.

 

User Response:  First, verify that the access was correctly denied. Then, if required, change the access level.

 

 AIST

 

  An unexpected return code has been returned after a DFHTC TYPE=LOCATE command.

 

AISU

 

  An INVALID, DISASTER, or EXCEPTION condition has occurred on a call to the storage manager domain (SM) to FREEMAIN a FCENT control block.

  

AISV

 

  A PURGED condition has occurred on a call to the storage manager domain (SM) to FREEMAIN a FCENT control block.

 

AISW

 

  An INVALID, DISASTER, or EXCEPTION condition has occurred on a call to the storage manager domain (SM) to GETMAIN or FREEMAIN a CRB control block.

  

AISX

 

  A PURGED condition has occurred on a call to the storage manager domain (SM) to GETMAIN or FREEMAIN a CRB control block.

  

AISY

 

  The LU services manager transaction has been started, but invalid parameters have been detected.

  

AISZ

 

  DFHMXP has received an unexpected reply when committing START PROTECT NOCHECK requests sent on a LUTYPE6.2 synclevel 1 conversation.

  

AJCA

Irrecoverable I/O error on output to non-crucial journal


AJCB

Failure to switch to a new output volume for a non-crucial journal


AJCN

Unable to write dynamic log record to temporary storage

 

AKCT

 

 A terminal read-time-out condition has been detected. The transaction has been waiting for a terminal input message for an interval longer than specified in the RTIMOUT value for that transaction.

 

If an EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND has been issued for this task, the read that was timed-out is still outstanding. To cancel this read you should issue an EXEC CICS ABEND at the end of the user exit routine so that CICS can clean up the terminal's TCTTE.

 

User Response:  This abend is a normal one. Coding RTIMOUT in the PROFILE entry asks for the task to be abnormally terminated if the terminal does not send input within the specified time.

 

 AKC0

 

  An attempt has been made to run the CICS internal task CSSY as a user transaction.

 

User Response:  Investigate why the attempt was made to run CSSY as a user transaction.

  

AKC1

 

  A DFHKC WAIT request was issued when the ECB was already marked as waiting.

 

AKC2

 

  A bad response has been received from a dispatcher (DS) domain call.

  

AKC3

 

 The task has been purged, probably due to operator action such as a CEMT TASK PURGE command. The task might also have been purged as a result of CICS issuing a purge request.

 

User Response:  Use the transaction dump to determine why the task was purged. In particular, if the purge was operator initiated, the dump should be useful in determining why this task needed to be explicitly purged.

  

AKC6

 

  DFHKC RESUME should always be preceded by DFHKC SUSPEND. If this protocol is violated then the transaction is abnormally terminated with abend code AKC6.

  

AKC8

 

  A bad response has been received from a call to the kernel (KE) domain during the processing of a task purge request.

 

AKC9

 

  An incorrect response has been received from a call to the enqueue (NQ) domain during the processing of a DFHKC TYPE=ENQ or a DFHKC TYPE=DEQ request.

APCS

ANS SUBSET COBOL support not generate in PCP (DOS only) 

 

 APCT

 

 Requested module not in PPT, Program not found.  If the error occurs when executing either a SEND MAP or RECEIVE MAP command, then the mapset name in the COBOL program does not match the mapset name in front of the DFHMSD assembler macro.

 

  Possible causes:

 

1.  The program name in the EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND program is not usable at the time an abend occurs because:    

       The program is not on the relocatable program library (RPL).

       The program is disabled.

       The program cannot be loaded.

 

2.  An attempt to load a mapset or partitionset failed because although the program is defined to CICS 

       It is not available on the RPL, or

       It is disabled, or

       It cannot be autoinstalled.

 

3.  An attempt to link to, load, or release an internal CICS program failed because:

       The program is not on the RPL.

      The program is disabled.

       The program cannot be loaded.

  

Problem Determination:  The trace preceding the abend indicates the program, mapset, or partitionset that could not be loaded, linked to, or released. The name is also in TCAPCEPI.

  

User Response:  In cases 1 and 2, define the program, mapset partitionset to CICS using CEDA and ensure it is enabled.

 

In case 3, the definition of a CICS-provided module is incorrect. Check for associated messages issued during CICS start up. 

 

APCW

 

  The program language is defined as COBOL but the level of the compiler under which it was originally compiled cannot be determined. Most probably, the program was compiled under an OS/VS COBOL II compiler but the required level of support for that compiler is not present in the system.

  

User Response:  Check that OS/VS, COBOL II or Language Environment support is present in the system and that the required interface modules (IGZECIC or CEECCICS) have been correctly loaded during system startup.

 

APCY

 

  In an MVS/ESA environment, a CICS macro request has been issued from a PL/I or COBOL application. Alternatively, it is possible that the

application program has been link edited without the EXEC interface module (for example, DFHECI or DFHELII) which is used by the CICS high-level

language programming interface.  See the CICS System Definition Guide for details of what has to be done to include this module.

  

APCZ

 

  An attempt has been made to run either an 'old-style' application program (that is, a program with a pre-release 1.6 or a DFHE program stub)

or an OS/VS COBOL program, either having been link-edited with the RENT or REFR attributes. These types of programs are not reentrant and therefore

cannot be loaded into read-only storage.

ASPL

Error while writing sync point information


ASP1

Intersystem session failed while a sync point was taken


ASP2

Sync point attempted with the intersystem links in an invalid state


ASP3

Remote system has failed to take a sync point required by LUW


ASP5

Task does not own it principal facility


ASP6

Attempt to flush data to a remote system failed

 

ASP7

DB2 failure. DB2(local or remote) is unable to continue with the syncpoint. A resource manager involved in syncpoint protocols has replied 'No' to a request to 'Prepare'.

This abend is caused by a prior problem: for example, the resource manager cannot flush its buffers because of an I/O error, or it cannot communicate with CICS because of a TP failure.

 

System Action:  CICS terminates the transaction abnormally. Recoverable resources updated by the unit of work are backed out. The EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command cannot handle this abend.

 

If it is a local resource manager that has voted no, message DFHAC2218 is sent to the terminal end user if possible, and message DFHAC2248 is sent to transient data destination CSMT.

 

If it is a remote resource manager that has voted no, message DFHAC2219 is sent to the terminal end user if possible, and message DFHAC2249 is sent to transient data destination CSMT.

 

User Response:  This abend is caused by a prior problem. For example, the resource manager cannot flush its buffers because of an I/O error, or it cannot

communicate with CICS because of a TP failure. Correct the earlier problem. An ASP7 can also occur during terminal or connection install if CICS is short on

storage.  For instance if message DFHAC2248 shows the transaction as CATA then look for earlier short on storage messages.

 


ASP8

Sync point rollback not supported for transaction which use function shipping or transaction routing


ASP9

An attempt to free a TCTTE owned by this task failed

  

ASRA

 

 The task has terminated abnormally because of a program interrupt. Examples of program interrupts that can cause an ASRA abend are S0C4 and S0C7.

 Either non-numeric data was found in a numeric field or else addressability has not been properly established.

System Action:  The task is abnormally terminated and CICS issues either message DFHAP0001 or DFHSR0001. Message DFHSR0622 may also be issued.

 User Response:  Program interrupts can occur for a wide variety of reasons, but you can find the nature of the error from the program interrupt code in the program status word (PSW). The machine hardware uses the PSW to record the address of the current instruction being executed, the addressing mode, and other control information. The PSW gives you the address at which the program check occurred, and so it represents a record of the circumstances of the failure. Usually you can search the program for numeric related moves or possible non numeric data being moved to numeric fields, division by zero, or other odd scenario's that may not have been handled properly. To locate problem make use of debugging tools like Xpeditor, CEDF.

 

 ASRB

 

  An operating system abend has occurred and CICS has been able to abend the current transaction.

 A transaction can abend with an ASRB abend code when a program issues the MVS ABEND macro. For example, BDAM issues this ABEND macro when it detects errors, rather than sending a return code to the calling program. CICS is notified when an MVS abend occurs, and in turn issues an ASRB abend code for the transaction.

 

ASRD

 

  The task has been abnormally terminated for one of these reasons:

    A program contains an assembler macro call which is no longer supported by CICS.

   An invalid attempt has been made to access the CSA or TCA. This abend could be caused by an attempt to address the CSA through OS/VS COBOL BLL cells.

 

ASRE

 

  The task has been abnormally terminated because an attempt has been made to access a CICS-DB2 RCT load module.

  

ASRK

 

  The AP domain recovery stub, DFHSR1, has been invoked to deal with a program check, operating system abend, or another error within a

transaction environment. However, DFHSR1 has been unable to call the system recovery program, DFHSRP, because register 12, which should be pointing

to the task control area (TCA), is null. This indicates that the caller of DFHSR1, has not set the address of the TCA..

 

ATCA

DFHTC macro issued during final quiesce mode


ATCB

ATCF

VTAM request to a non-VTAM terminal


ATCG

READ or WRITE issued to a terminal not owned by task


ATCH

The transaction was cancelled. This normally happens when your program is in a loop. ADP Operations is in charge of canceling transactions. The task was purged before a domain call was able to complete successfully. The task that first detected the purged condition provides an exception trace.

 

User Response:  Investigate why the task was purged. It was purged either as a result of a purge from the master terminal operator via the CEMT

transaction, or by the task being timed out after waiting for longer than the DTIMOUT (deadlock timeout) value specified for the transaction, or by CICS

issuing a purge request.

 

If the master terminal operator purged the task, this may have been in an attempt to clear the system which appeared to be deadlocked for some reason.

 

If the task was timed out automatically as a result of the DTIMOUT value being exceeded, this may be due to insufficient main storage being available for the

number of tasks in the system. If the amount of main storage cannot be increased, reduce the number of tasks in the system to avoid short-on-storage

situations. Another possibility is to increase the value of the DTIMOUT option for the transaction.

 

When CICS purges a task, it does so to allow an operation to complete which would be held up by the presence of active tasks, or to ensure data integrity. 

For example, CICS will purge a task which has made recoverable updates to a coupling facility data table if it determines that the coupling facility data table

server for the pool in which that table resides has recycled, to ensure that all updates in the unit of work will be backed out.

AZTT

   An attempt was made to attach a task on a remote system, but the connection with the remote system is not an APPC or MRO connection.

 

AZTU

   The task does not own the link TCTTE after a sync point has been taken.

 

AZTV

   An invalid function management header (FMH) has been received from the remote system.

  

AZTW

   An attempt was made to attach a task on a remotely-owned terminal that was already running a task.

  

AZTY

   A session TCT entry for a remotely owned APPC terminal or connection could not be created because to do so would exceed the maximum number of APPC sessions permitted.

  

AZTZ

   The CICS relay program DFHCRT has been attached in an unsupported manner.

 

 AZT1

   The task has been attached improperly in the application-owning region when transaction routing.

  

AZT3

   The task is being routed back to the region from where it came.

  

AZT6

   The task in the application-owning region has received a ROLLBACK request from the terminal-owning region, but the conversation is continuing. The terminal-owning region has violated the transaction routing protocol.

  

AZT7

   A session terminal control table (TCT) entry for a remotely owned APPC terminal or connection could not be added to the TCT.

  

AZT8 

  A session terminal control table (TCT) entry for a remotely owned APPC terminal or connection could not be deleted from the TCT.

   DFHZTSP has timed out waiting for service transaction CITS to complete during the creation of a remote terminal while attaching a task in the application-owning region.

  

AZVB

   DFHZCQ has failed to create the remote terminal definition. A previous message or messages should indicate the reason for the failure.

  

AZVC

   An unexpected error has occurred in DFHZATS. This is probably caused by DFHZATS being unable to address the CSA, EIB or the TCA. It

can also occur if DFHZATS is called with an EXEC CICS START command for transactions CITS, CFTS, CMTS or CDTS. These are internal CICS

transactions and should not be called in this way.

  

AZVD

   An unexpected error has occurred in the install procedure of DFHZATS.

 

AZVE

   DFHZATS is trying to install a remote terminal with the same terminal id as an existing TCT entry.
