CAPC098E

INTERNAL ERROR. ABEND REPORTER IN CONTROL.

Reason:

The error recovery mechanisms (for example, ESTAE exits) of the runtime system have encountered an unexpected and unrecoverable abend. The most likely event is an unexpected 0Cx abend in the runtime system.

This could be traceable to an invalid control block, product logic error, or user error. The runtime system captures a few data elements related to the abend and attempts to relate the abending PSW address to an offset within a named module. The abend code (for example, 0C4) and the registers at abend, along with other pertinent information, are written to CAIPRINT. The execution monitor then issues a user abend code of 1098 and an abend dump is produced.

As the message text implies, the difference in abend code reflects what process was in control at the time of the abend.

This message is issued when Abend Reporter (CAODxxxx) was in control and did not return to its caller.

Action:

Contact CA Technical Support to report the problem after the dump is available. In the RTM2WA summary, abends are represented by a chain of SDWA control blocks displayed in chronological order from the oldest to the newest. Generally, diagnose the problem by finding the SDWA in the RTM2WA SUMMARY chain that matches the abend code and registers displayed on CAIPRINT. The unexpected and unrecoverable abend is documented as the SDWA that is queued just prior to the final user abend code 1098.
