How to debug
a CICS abend

CICS, C9

Slide 1

Objectives
1. Explain the difference between an exceptional condition abend and
a program check abend.
2. Given an abend code, identify whether the abend was caused by an
exceptional condition, a program check, or another type of error.
3. Use EDF to trace the execution of a CICS program and locate the
contents of a working-storage field.

Slide 2

Exceptional condition and program check abends

An exceptional condition abend occurs when a CICS command
encounters an unusual situation and the RESP option wasnt
included on the command.
A program check abend occurs when a program tries to perform an
operation that isnt allowed by the hardware. This type of abend
always results in an ASRA abend code.

Types of program checks (ASRA abend code)

Operation exception

Specification exception

Decimal-divide exception

Privileged operation

Data exception

Exponent overflow

Execute exception

Fixed-point overflow

Exponent underflow

Protection exception

Fixed-point divide exception Significance exception

Addressing exception Decimal overflow

CICS, C9

Floating-point divide exception

Explanation

ABMB

You used the absolute cursor positioning technique and supplied a cursor
position thats beyond the limit of the output device.

ABM0

The specified map isnt in the mapset.

AFCV

A request made against a file was unable to acquire a record-level lock.

AICA

The task exceeded the execution time limit for runaway tasks.

AKCS

The task was canceled because it was suspended for a period longer than the
transactions defined deadlock timeout period.

AKCT

The task was canceled because it was waiting for terminal input for a period
longer than the transactions defined terminal read timeout period.

AKC3

The task was purged, probably as the result of a master terminal operator
issuing the CEMT TASK PURGE command.

APCT

The program could not be found or is disabled.

ASRB

An operating system abend has occurred; CICS was able to abend the
transaction and continue processing.

ATCH

The task was purged, probably as the result of a deadlock situation.

How to use EDF to debug a program running at

the same terminal
The command to start EDF
CEDF

The message thats displayed on the screen when EDF

starts
THIS TERMINAL: EDF MODE ON

Description
In single-screen mode, you run EDF and the program you want to
debug at the same terminal.
This is the technique youll use most often.

CICS, C9

2001, Mike Murach & Associates, Inc.

Slide 18

How to use EDF to debug a program running at

another terminal
The command to start EDF at a terminal named H400
CEDF H400,ON

The message thats displayed on the screen when EDF

starts
TERMINAL H400: EDF MODE ON

Description
In dual-screen mode, you run EDF at one terminal and the program
you want to debug at the terminal you name when you start EDF.
You may want to use this technique to test a program at different
types of terminals.

CICS, C9

2001, Mike Murach & Associates, Inc.

Slide 19

How to use EDF to debug a specific program

running at any terminal
The command to start EDF for the program started with
trans-id MNTB
CEDX MNTB,ON

The message thats displayed on the screen when EDF

starts
TRANSACTION MNTB: EDF ON

Description
You can use the CEDX trans-id to debug a program running at any
terminal thats started by the trans-id you specify.
You can use this technique to test a program thats not started from
a terminal, such as a business logic program whose presentation
logic runs outside the CICS environment.

CICS, C9

2001, Mike Murach & Associates, Inc.

Slide 20

Screen 1
To start EDF in single-screen mode, enter CEDF. Then, enter the trans-id of the
program you want to debug. EDF displays the program initiation screen, which
