section

A program control error occurred. Message DWW0000 provides the name of the erroneous module and the reason for the exit.

If CICS VR VSAM batch logging was used, then no logging occurred for the sphere. Operator messages DWW251I-DWW262I, or DWW266I indicate the reason for the termination.

If you used a CICS VR exit, verify that it did not cause the error. Follow the problem determination procedures described in this document.

If CICS VR VSAM batch redo logging was enabled and your batch job received a 3999 condition code, see operator messages DWW251I-DWW262I, or DWW266I for more information on the reason for the termination. Take a backup of the sphere to ensure recoverability. See CICS VR Implementation Guide and Reference for information on how to set up your batch jobs to automatically take a backup when a 3999 condition code is received.
