   The Abend Analysis screen is divided into the following major sections:

   1. Identifies the dump you selected.
   2. Indicates whether the program was abended by CICS, an application or the operating system, the abend type, and the addressing mode, execution key, and program status word (PSW) values at the time of the abend.
   3. Provides details of the instruction and operands in the abending statement. Type an S next to the data type and press Enter to view that item in CORE. See the CA InterTest for CICS User Guide for a complete explanation of the Main Storage: CORE Facility.
   4. For COBOL/II and IBM COBOL programs, gives Base Locator (BL) cell references to the operand. The following information identifies the BL cell references by type.

      BL Type Locator For

      BLA Alphanumeric temporaries

      BLF File entries

      BLK Local storage
