Abend Codes Reference
Abend Codes Reference
When abnormal conditions occur, CICS sends a message to the CSMT transient data destination that contains the transaction ID, the program name, and the abend code. An abend code indicates the cause of an error and may have originated by CICS or a user program.
CICS transaction dump is provided at abnormal termination. All CICS transaction abends are described with 4-character alphanumeric codes (abcode) of Axxy. The Axxy is described as -
- A - is the IBM-assigned designation of a CICS transaction abend.
- xx - is the 2-character code assigned by CICS to identify the module that detected an error.
- y - is the 1-character alphanumeric code assigned by CICS.
List of Abend Codes with Solution -
