ISMF passes control to ISPF. The ISPF primary option menu or the
ISPF master application menu is displayed and an ISPF symptom dump
is placed in the log. See
Figure 1 for
a sample ISPF symptom dump. The ISPF symptom dump consists of:
- The release level of ISPF
- The abend code
- The program status word (PSW)
- The name of the module involved in the failure, if it is available
- The entry point address (EPA) of the module involved in the failure
- The entry point address (EPA) of the ISPF ISPSUBS and ISPTBLS
modules
- The contents of the registers when the abend occurred
