DFHAP0704 applid A possible loop has been detected in exit program progname at exit point xxxxxxxx.

Explanation

The exit program progname was in control and the transaction has consumed more CPU time than has been specified in the ICVR. There is probably a loop.

System action

CICS returns a zero return code to the exit point. CICS also produces a system dump unless

  • You have specifically suppressed dumps in the dump table, or

  • The exit point is XDUREQ. No dump is taken in order to avoid recursive dumping.

User response

There is a probable logic error in the user exit program progname. DISABLE the exit program from all exit points by using the EXITALL operand in the EXEC CICS DISABLE, and correct the error.

Refer to the Developing system programs for CICS for further information about coding user exit programs.

If you think there is no loop, you can increase the runaway task time interval in the ICVR by using CEMT. This is explained in the CICS Supplied Transactions manual.
