RTM2 work area (RTM2WA)
The system creates one RTM2 work area (RTM2WA) for each error which
occurs. They are formatted from oldest to newest created. RTM2 uses
the RTM2WA to control abend processing. Registers, PSW, abend code,
etc. at the time of the error are recorded in the RTM2WA. This area
is often useful for debugging and is pointed to by:
- TCBRTWA (TCB +X'E0')
- RTM2 SVRB +X'80'
The RTM2WA is described in z/OS® MVS™ Data Areas in http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/. This work area can be found through TCB+X'E0' (TCBRTWA), or RTM2 SVRB+X'80'.
The RTM2WA can be formatted using the IPCS SUMMARY FORMAT ERROR subcommand.
