Offset keyword procedure

If your program terminated abnormally or entered a wait or loop, your next keyword in the keyword string after the name of the module is the offset keyword.

To determine the offset:

Subtract the address of the first byte of the module from the abend address. The first byte of the module is the byte where the characters 'LICENSED' begin, just before the module name you found earlier by scanning the right side of the dump (as described in Module keyword procedure). If 'LICENSED' does not appear, the first byte is the beginning of the module name.

                           22D417F0     abend address
                           22D41700     module address
                           --------
                                 F0     offset

In the example in Figure 1, the address of the module ICEIPFT is 22D41700, and the abend address previously found is 22D417F0. Therefore, the offset is F0.

                                                abend address is 22D417F0 - offset is F0

Record the offset keyword using the following format:
```
OFFSET n
```
where n is 1 to 4 digits and contains no leading zeros.
For example, the keyword string for a system abend 0C1 would look like this:
Keyword string
5740SM105 RL00 BLOCKSET SORT ABEND0C1 ICEIPFT OFFSET F0
The keyword string is now complete. Go to Searching the problem reporting databases.
