Error messages and abend codes

Messages are the first source for diagnostic information. Refer to the Abend Codes and Error Messages reference sections of this user's guide for detailed IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility abend code and error message information.

Abend 3400, 3800, and 3801 are controlled by IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility. Other abend codes indicate a failure of setup, environment, or system.

Abend 3400 always includes the reason code to indicate cause of failure. IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility uses this abend when processing cannot continue because of the conditions indicated in the reason code.

All messages generated by IMS HP Change Accumulation Utility have the prefix HPC and trailing character I, W, or E.

  • Informational (I) messages indicate specific information conveying status or the possibility of an unusual situation. (I) messages do not affect processing.
  • Warning (W) messages identify unusual situations which might create invalid results if processing continues.
  • Error (E) messages cause termination.
