Has there been an abend?
If your application has stopped running, this could be caused by an abnormal
termination (abend).
You are notified of an abend in one of the following places, depending
on what type of application you are using:
- Batch
- Your listing shows the abend.
- CICS(R)
- You see a CICS transaction abend message. If your task is a terminal
task, this message appears on your screen. If your task is not attached to
a terminal, the message appears on the CICS CSMT log.
- IMS(TM)
- In all
cases, you see a message at the IMS master terminal and in the listing of the
dependent region involved. If an IMS transaction that had been entered from
a terminal was being processed, an error message is also sent to that terminal.
- TSO
- You might see a TSO message with a return code on your screen. (This
depends on the way your system is set up, and the type of error.)
