DL/I analysis

Debugging suggestions for a batch environment, including DL/I and DBB regions are described.

These debugging suggestions are useful in a batch environment. The information is valid for DL/I or DBB regions.

Before diagnosing abends in a batch region, review the external conditions. Verify that your environment is correct by asking the following questions:

• Are the JOBLIB/STEPLIB DD statements pointing to the correct libraries?
• Are the PSBLIBs and DBDLIBs at the same level as the JOBLIB/STEPLIB modules?
• If running with an ACBLIB, was the ACBGEN run under the same level of IMS you are currently running on?
• Were the databases correctly allocated and intact before starting the current run?
