Program check and abend tracing

Program check and abend tracing is carried out by kernel domain. The kernel records information about program checks and abends, including details of the registers and the PSW at the time of failure.

You cannot format the program check and abend trace information directly, but you get a summary of its contents in a formatted CICS system dump when you specify dump formatting keyword KE. The information is provided in the form of a storage report for each task that has had a program check or an abend during the current run of CICS.

An example of such a storage report is given in Figure 2.
