Probable Cause Parameter

You can use the probcause parameter to enter one to three code points describing a probable cause for the problem. You must specify at least one probable cause parameter.

The code points for probcause are similar to the ones described for the alertdesc parameter. If you specify more than one code point, separate the code points with a semicolon (;). You can mix and match English-language format with hexadecimal (Xnnnn) format.

Words you can specify in place of code points are:

If you need to specify a probable cause different from those listed above, use the Xnnnn format. The SNA Format Reference Guide documents probable cause code points. If you specify more than one probable cause parameter, specify them in decreasing order of probability. For example, you might specify the probable cause of a CICS failure SOFTWARE;IOERROR when software is more likely to cause the problem than an I/O error.
