Abnormal termination

Language Environment® reports Db2 ODBC abends because Db2 ODBC runs under Language Environment. Typically, Language Environment reports the type of abend that occurs and the function that is active in the address space at the time of the abend.

Db2 ODBC has no facility for abend recovery. When an abend occurs, Db2 ODBC terminates. Database management systems follow the normal recovery process for any outstanding Db2 unit of work.

"CEE" is the prefix for all Language Environment messages. If the prefix of the active function is "CLI", then Db2 ODBC had control during the abend which indicates that this can be a Db2 ODBC, a Db2, or a user error.

The following example shows an abend:

CEE3250C The system or user abend S04E  R=00000000 was issued.
         From entry point CLI_mvsCallProcedure(CLI_CONNECTINFO*,...
         +091A2376 at address 091A2376...

In this message, you can determine what caused the abend as follows:

"CEE" indicates that Language Environment is reporting the abend.
The entry point shows that Db2 ODBC is the active module.
Abend code "S04E" means that this is a Db2 system abend.
