Appendix B. Default actions of the node abnormal condition program

This appendix describes the default actions of the node abnormal condition program, DFHZNAC. The actions vary, depending on the terminal error code and system sense codes received from VTAM®. In most cases, DFHZNAC issues messages and sets one or more "action flags" in the communication area passed to the node error program, DFHZNEP. DFHZNEP then has the opportunity to change the default actions (though not the messages) by setting or resetting flags. (Note, however, that in some circumstances, the actions actually taken can vary from the actions set, depending on the state of the node at the time of the error.)

For more information about DFHZNAC and DFHZNEP, see Writing a node error program.

The appendix is divided into the following sections:

  1. DFHZNAC--default actions for terminal error codes
  2. CICS messages associated with VTAM errors
  3. DFHZNAC--default actions for system sense codes
  4. Action flag settings and meanings.
