Debugging a CA Culprit Report › Reviewing CA Culprit Listings and Messages › Runtime Messages

Runtime Messages

Processing errors resulting from input-file processing, buffer dumps, and end-of-file statistics are listed in run-time messages (extract phase):

• Processing errors include database access and file-matching operations.
• Buffer dumps show the contents of the input buffer in character and hexadecimal representation when an error occurs in input processing.

  If an error condition does not create a buffer dump, the dump can be forced by creating a zero-divide condition in the CA Culprit program:

  010 ZERO
     .
     .
     .
  017    ZERO / ZERO  ZERO
  

  The dump looks like this:
