Using the Message Listing

Many messages have a one-character suffix that indicates the nature of the message, as follows:

A complete listing of these messages and codes is available online in the Chicago-Soft MVS/QuickRef product.

In this naming standard, message number ranges are reserved for use by functional areas and facilities. The current ranges for message numbers are listed here:

A number of messages instruct you to gather the appropriate diagnostic information, then to contact CA Technical Support for assistance. In these cases, diagnostic information means any system logs or system dumps, job log information, error messages generated by the problem, and service level information (from the DISPLAY FACILITIES command).

In order to provide you with the best possible service when you call CA Technical Support for assistance, we recommend that you prepare for your phone call by collecting all available sources of information.

CA Technical Support needs the following information:

For z/OS

• The release and service level of CA MIM. You get this information by issuing the DISPLAY FACILITIES command.
• The version of the operating system and its service level. You can get this information by issuing one of the following commands:
  • DISPLAY OSLEVEL (MIM)
  • D IPLINFO (z/OS)
• Any dumps produced.

For z/VM

• The release and service level of CA MIM. You get this information by issuing the DISPLAY FACILITIES.
• The version of the operating system and its service level. Use the QUERY CPLEVEL command to see this information.
• OPERATOR and MIMGR console logs before and after the time of the problem.
• CA VM:Tape console information, if appropriate.
• Any dumps produced.

CA Technical Support prefers to receive dumps in IPCS or DUMPVIEW format. The tape should be written using the TAPE DUMP command. Please avoid sending raw spool files in SPTAPE format.
