Recovering from abends z/OS DFSMSdfp Diagnosis SC23-6863-00 |

ISMF responds to abend conditions based on both the value (Y or N) you specify in the RECOVER FROM ABENDS field in your profile, and the way you invoke ISPF (in normal or test/trace mode). The value in the RECOVER FROM ABENDS field on the Logging/Abend Control Entry Panel determines whether ISMF retains control after an abend occurs, and the type of error related information that is recorded. The ISPF mode determines where control will be passed (to ISPF or TSO/E) when ISMF does not recover from abends. If you specify
ISMF
attempts to recover from the abend and retain control. When an abend
occurs, an ISMF symptom dump at the time of the failure is placed
in the ISPF log. In many cases the symptom dump is sufficient to diagnose
the problem. See Figure 1 for an example
of the format. The ISMF symptom dump contains the following information:
Exceptions: ISMF cannot recover from user abends 111, 222,
989, 997, or 999. ISPF uses these abend codes for certain unrecoverable
errors. If you add functions to ISMF, you must avoid using these abend
codes.
