CICS Abend Codes

CA InterTest for CICS issues the following error codes when error conditions are discovered:

CORE—Is the same as the transaction code of the CORE transaction at your site. It means that the CORE transaction intercepted a CICS abend that makes it impossible to continue the transaction.

INHA—Indicates that a program (usually a user program) has corrupted a CA InterTest for CICS storage area so that CA InterTest for CICS cannot continue processing. Check the CICS statistics to see if any storage violations occurred. If you find any, see which program caused the violation. This would be a program not being monitored by CA InterTest for CICS.

INTE—Indicates that an automatic breakpoint cannot be executed because:

The CA InterTest for CICS automatic breakpoint facility is disabled.
There is no terminal on which to show the breakpoint display.
The terminal designated to receive the breakpoint display is not a 3270‑type CRT (or compatible model).

INTP—Indicates that a PLI LE program was linked without CEESTART as its first CSECT and CA InterTest abends the task with an INTP abend code.

KERN—Indicates that the task at a breakpoint could not recover from an abend. If you know the reason (for example, you abended the task), ignore this code; otherwise, contact CA InterTest for CICS technical support.

NATI—indicates that a breakpoint display is being directed to a terminal that does not have the Automatic Task Initiation (ATI) capability. If the status of the terminal is either transceive or receive (preferably, transceive), the terminal has the ATI capability. You can adjust the status by the CEMT service transaction.
