Reporting

If an abend occurs in CA JARS that is not handled by CA JARS and if CA JARS is set up to use CA Service Desk, a request will be opened in CA Service Desk. The description is the primary source of information about the abend and looks like this:

Line Numbers

Meaning

1

This line indicates the error that was encountered. The abend code (ABENDxxx for system abends in hex, USERnnnn for user abends in decimal) and load module name and offset are included, as well as the date (YYYYMMDD) and time (HHMMSS - 24 hour clock).

2

This is the PSW at the time of the error, followed by the interrupt code, the instruction length code, and a repeat of the load module name and offset.

3

This line indicates the next 8 lines are the registers, displayed in 64-bit format.

4 to 11

These lines are the 64-bit general registers at the time of the abend. The first line has registers 0 and 1, the second has registers 2 and 3 and so on, until line 11, which has registers 14 and 15.

12

This line will show instructions near the address in the PSW if they are available in memory. The address in parentheses in front of the instructions is the address of the first byte of the printed instructions. Typically, this is 6 bytes prior to the address in the PSW.

13

This line displays the system name where the error occurred, as well as the SMF ID and the version of the operating system from the CVT prefix.

14

This line indicates the job name, the job number, the address space ID, the date and time the job started running, and the address of the TCB that abended.

15

The final line indicates the product name, version, and service pack level.

A summary line at the end is the same as the first line of the description. This line will also appear on the list of requests.
