DFS3908E ABEND code IN OTMA SVC INIT MODULE DFSYSVI0, PSW=psw1psw2
Explanation
An abend occurred while module DFSYSVI0 was in control. Module DFSYSVI0 is the module that initializes the OTMA Callable Services SVC service, and is typically run as a stand-alone job before running applications that use the OTMA Callable Services. DFSYSVI0 processing is protected by an internal ESTAE, which attempts to retry from the abend and clean up any global resources (such as common storage) that DFSYSVI0 obtained. This message is issued to alert the operator that an abend occurred.
- code
- The abend code. For system abends, the format of code is Sxxx, where xxx is the 3-digit abend code in hexadecimal. For user abends, the format of code is Udddd, where dddd is the 4-digit abend code in decimal.
- psw1
- The first word of the PSW at abend.
- psw2
- The second word of the PSW at abend.
System action
The DFSYSVI0 ESTAE collects diagnostic data about the abend, and then resumes execution in a cleanup routine within DFSYSVI0. This routine attempts to release any global resources that DFSYSVI0 obtained as a part of its processing. DFSYSVI0 then issues message DFS3911E and returns to its caller. Typically, unless the abend occurred at the very end of DFSYSVI0 processing, the OTMA SVC routine is not initialized.
The first time that DFSYSVI0 abends, its ESTAE creates an SDUMP of the address space, and causes a record to be written to the SYS1.LOGREC data set to document the abend. If DFSYSVI0 abends a second time or more (within one execution), its ESTAE does not create another SDUMP. However, it does write another record to SYS1.LOGREC.
