Debugging under CICS

This section provides information for debugging under the Customer Information Control System (CICS®). The following sections explain how to access debugging information under CICS, and describe features unique to debugging under CICS.

Use the following list as a quick reference for debugging information:

Language Environment runtime messages (CESE transient data queue)
Language Environment traceback (CESE transient data queue)
Language Environment dump output (CESE transient data queue)
CICS Transaction Dump (CICS DFHDMPA or DFHDMPB data set)
Language Environment abend and reason codes (system console)
Language Environment return codes to CICS (system console)

If the EXEC CICS HANDLE ABEND command is active and the application, or CICS, initiates an abend or application interrupt, then Language Environment does not produce any runtime messages, tracebacks, or dumps.

If EXEC CICS ABEND NODUMP is issued, then no Language Environment dumps or CICS transaction dumps are produced.
