ABEND Command

Use the ABEND command to force CA VM:Director to terminate operation abnormally.

ABEND

Description

The ABEND command forces CA VM:Director to terminate operation abnormally and causes an ABN001 abend.

Control returns to CMS with a return code of 200. CA VM:Director issues the VMDUMP command and sends the dump to the user ID specified on a DUMP record in the PRODUCT CONFIG file.

Use the ABEND command to terminate CA VM:Director only when an unusual situation arises and you need to terminate the CA VM:Director system with a dump. If you want to generate a dump of the CA VM:Director system without terminating, use the CA VM:Director CMS command to issue the CP VMDUMP command on the CA VM:Director service virtual machine’s console or from an authorized user ID.

Note: For more information about terminating CA VM:Director operation under normal conditions, see the section END Command.
