Displaying an ABEND Message

Some user ABEND messages are stored in the IBM® Connect:Direct® message file. To access them, insert the ABEND message ID in place of a IBM Connect:Direct message ID.

Note: System ABEND messages appear in the JES log for z/OS. They do not appear in the IBM Connect:Direct message file. Refer to the appropriate operating system manuals if you require further details.

For example, to display the description of user ABEND U0075, perform the following:

  1. Access the PRIMARY OPTIONS MENU in the IUI.
  2. Select the MSG option.
  3. Select option 1.
  4. Type U0075 on the message ID line and press Enter.
