Defining Code Match Table

SA z/OS allows you to define a code match table, also called "codes" (COD) for Application (APL), Monitor Resource (MTR), and MVS Component (MVC) policy entries. It allows a flexible way to specify the parameters for certain SA z/OS commands.

Code match checking is used by SA z/OS in the following situations:

• Processing of messages with ISSUEACT (ISSUECMD, ISSUEREP) to trigger appropriate commands or replies with the possibility to assign also an appropriate severity for message being captured, for example, IMPORTANT.
• Processing of messages or OMEGAMON exceptions with INGMON to update the status of an MTR or to issue appropriate commands or replies.
• Processing of termination messages with TERMMSG to determine which status to place the resource in, for example, ABENDING.
• Processing of WTORs with OUTREP to assign a severity, for example, IMPORTANT.
• Capturing of messages with AOFCPMSG with the possibility to specify any parameter of AOFCPMSG.
• Sending events with INGALERT to event notification targets such as IOM, EIF, TTT, or USR. See Alert-Based Notification in Customizing and Programming
• Processing of WTO or WTOR buffer shortage recovery. For details, see Enabling WTO(R) Buffer Shortage Recovery in Customizing and Programming.
• Processing of CICS or IMS transaction abend recovery using message ID ABCODETRAN. For details, see "ABCODETRAN: Transaction Abend Recovery" for CICS and IMS in Product Automation Programmer's Reference and Operator's Guide.
• Processing of IMS BMP region abends using message ID ABCODEPROG. For details, see ABCODEPROG: Respond to IMS Application Abends in Product Automation Programmer's Reference and Operator's Guide.
