Abend Procedure Delays

The following table describes the various types of abend procedure delays, and the possible reasons for them.

Delay Type

Reason

Too many SNAP dumps

The process of taking SNAP dumps is taking a significant amount of processing time

Reduce the number of SNAP dumps to decrease overall processing time.

Program using abend processing

A program or one of its subroutines is using z/OS abend services to process invalid data

You should use means other than z/OS abend services to eliminate or reduce abend processing time.
