1.2 Facilities


13/257

Abend-AID intercepts and analyzes application program failures to providecomprehensive fault diagnostics, reacting specifically to the type oferror, the language of the failing program, and the types of files ordatabases in use. A concise, easy-to-read report, available in printedform or online, presents the most important information first and only thedata necessary to solve the problem.

Abend-AID provides diagnostics for DB2, IMS, and IDMS databases as well asCOBOL, PL/I, Assembler, C/370, and VS FORTRAN languages. This supportincludes those versions of COBOL and PL/I that can be run with LanguageEnvironment.

For COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler errors, Abend-AID merges actual source codeand diagnostic data into a single report. Online, menu-driven accessenables quick and accurate problem resolution. The specializeddiagnostics for DB2, IMS, and IDMS environments enable programmers toresolve errors independently of the DBA staff.

1.2.1 Abend-AID Report

The Abend-AID report consists of these sections, which may be accessedindividually online by menu selection:

o Header: Includes environmental information about the program in error,

the operating system release level, the date and time when the erroroccurred, job name, step name, and job completion code.

o Diagnostic section: Includes a comprehensive explanation of the errorcondition, specific information about the field(s) contained in thestatement in error, and suggested courses of action whenever possible.

o Next Sequential Instruction section: Provides information for locatingthe statement in error. When using extended language support,identifies the exact location of the error. The compile date and lengthof the program in error are also identified.

o Registers section: Provides supporting environmental data. This

information includes the abending program status word (PSW) and programPSW, entry point and load point addresses, and the contents of theregisters at the time of the error.

o Trace section: Provides the Call Trace Summary and the ApplicationProgram Attributes. The Call Trace Summary includes a trace ofcalled/linked programs on the save area chain and indicates the programin error. The Application Program Attributes include the program name,language, compile date, and length for each application program.


14/257

Note: The Abend-AID report, Trace section, identifies programcompilers that may be using date-handling routines that don't supportfour-digit years. Warnings appear in the Diagnostic and Next SequentialInstruction sections.

o Program Storage section: Formats program storage for applicationprograms on the calling chain. Program storage is formatted based onthe programming language.

o Program Listing section: Available only with COBOL, PL/I, or Assemblerextended language support. Provides the procedure divisions for COBOLprograms on the calling chain and source listings for PL/I or Assemblerprograms on the calling chain with the current statement indicated.

o File section: Gives a status of each open file along with formattedcurrent and previous records.

o Specialized Database Support: Provides database-specific support forDB2, IMS, and IDMS if the Abend-AID database support facility for thatenvironment is installed on the system.

o SORT section: Includes the current COBOL internal sort information.Available only for COBOL programs with internal sort.

o COBOL Data Locator: Lists occurrences of all or specified data or datestrings and formats, identifying their locations. Available only duringonline viewing of COBOL extended language support.

o Epilog section: Includes report print and IBM dump information ifapplicable.

1.2.2 Extended Language Support

With extended language support you get source code in pertinent sectionsof the Abend-AID report, showing where the fault occurs, the conditions inwhich it occurs, and telling why it occurs. XLS is available for COBOL,PL/I, and Assembler (HLASM) programs.

XLS contributes the following information to the report:

o Diagnostic section: Shows the source statement that's in error. Fordata-related errors, also shows the contents of COBOL fields, PL/Ivariables, or Assembler variables in the statement at the time of thefault.

o Instruction section: Shows the source statement being executed.

o Program Storage section: Shows the names and contents of all individualCOBOL fields, PL/I variables, or Assembler variables in storage.

o Program Listing section: Shows the procedure divisions for COBOLprograms on the calling chain or the source listings for PL/I orAssembler programs on the calling chain, with the current statementindicated.


15/257

Report Viewing: The Compuware Viewing Facility (Compuware/VF) providesimmediate, online access to all report sections. The report can beprinted during viewing.

Compuware/VF uses a self-maintaining report file that stores Abend-AIDoutput in a compressed format, further reducing DASD space. Reports canbe locked to keep them in the report file as long as needed.

Compuware/VF keeps track of all Abend-AID activity and provides acomprehensive security system. The report file directory summarizesAbend-AID activity in a concise, easy-to-use format. You can sort thedirectory by job name, report number, error code, date, programmer, orreport size.

Source Viewing: Abend-AID's language processors for COBOL, PL/I, andAssembler enable XLS by capturing the pertinent source code from thecompiler listing. The language processors store the source in a special,self-maintaining source listing file. For XLS, Compuware/VF insertsapplicable information from the source listing file into the reportsections.

The Abend-AID user can set up a language processor to store the source

listing either before or after an Abend-AID report is written to thereport file. One or more source listing files are prepared by theinstaller during installation for this purpose. A source listing file canbe used by other Compuware products, such as XPEDITER/TSO.

The COBOL language processor produces an enhanced compiler listing thatgives diagnostic information not available in a standard listing. Theenhanced listing enables developers to further review program conditionsassociated with report diagnostics.

Distributed Viewing: Distributed viewing enables application developersto merge Abend-AID report and source listing files that are on different

MVS images that don't share DASD, or to access the files individually.Users access the files through the Compuware/VF, as they normally would.

Working from individual local systems, any number of users can accessreport and source listing files that both reside on other MVS images. Thedistance between MVS sites has no affect on the speed or reliability ofthe extended language report presented to a user.

1.2.3 Database Support

Abend-AID provides comprehensive support for DB2, IMS, and IDMS databases.These database support facilities are available as additional costoptions.

Abend-AID for DB2: Abend-AID for DB2 solves difficult S04E and S04Fabends, as well as application program problems associated with unexpectednegative SQL codes. With Abend-AID for DB2, you no longer need to wadethrough DB2 dumps and message manuals. Abend-AID pinpoints what happened,


16/257

as well as when, where, and why a DB2 abend or error occurred.Furthermore, Abend-AID for DB2 usually offers a solution to the problem.

Abend-AID can diagnose DB2 problems regardless of the environment in whichthe program is executing, and it is applicable to TSO, call attach mode,IMS, and DL/I attach mode environments. It alleviates the complexity ofDB2 as a result of cross-memory services, multiple address spaces, and thedifferent execution modes.

Abend-AID for IMS: Abend-AID for IMS features special diagnostic routinesfor application failures in IMS DB and TM environments. Abend-AID for IMSreduces the complexity surrounding the IMS environment by giving youcomprehensive, easy-to-understand diagnostics on IMS user abends inaddition to specific database information. Compuware/VF enablesimmediate, online access to Abend-AID output or IBM dumps that would notnormally be available until the region is brought down.

Abend-AID for IDMS: Abend-AID for IDMS provides diagnostics for failuresunique to the CA-IDMS database system. IDMS application failures arethoroughly analyzed by special modules that produce output reports,accurately describing the cause of the error. With Abend-AID for IDMS,you no longer need to rely on manuals or reference cards when debugging

IDMS errors.

1.2.4 SNAP-AID

The SNAP-AID facility produces Abend-AID output without terminating theapplication program. This facility provides a controlled environment fordebugging logic or data errors. For example, SNAP-AID can be verybeneficial in the DB2 environment when you want Abend-AID diagnostics fora negative SQL code without terminating the program. SNAP-AID is invoked

by a call to the SNAPAID module in the application program. The amount ofoutput can be customized by using a parameter list in the SNAP-AID call.

1.2.5 SMF Cost Analysis Tool

Analyzes user-provided SMF records spanning any time range to show thevolume and type of fault activity on a system. Estimates the MIS time andsystem costs saved by using Abend-AID.

1.2.6 Japanese Language Facility

Abend-AID's Japanese language capability uses the IBM double-bytecharacter set (DBCS) to present over 90% of the Abend-AID report inJapanese when viewed online through Compuware/VF. Japanese language isavailable for DB2, IMS, and COBOL diagnostics. Compuware/VF panels,


17/257

tutorials, and messages can be displayed in Japanese.

1.3 Operation

Abend-AID remains transparent to the user until an application programfailure occurs. When a program failure occurs, Abend-AID intercedes andreports the information you need to resolve the problem. Abend-AIDoperates according to a control structure preset by system defaults.Abend-AID lets you tailor its control structure for specializedenvironments.

1.3.1 Basic Process

When an application program failure occurs in Language Environment, thesystem calls registered Abnormal Termination Exits (ATE) to process thecondition. For abnormal termination processing, Compuware provides themodule LEAID as the entry point to Abend-AID.

If the application program failure is an abend, the operating system callsSVC51 to create a dump. In this case, Abend-AID operates by interceptingIBM SVC51 dump processing. If a //SYSUDUMP or //SYSABEND DD, or both the//SYSMDUMP and //ABENDAID DD statements are present in the execution JCL,

Abend-AID intercepts the call to SVC51 and gets control.

In all Abend-AID processing, Abend-AID modules are then dynamically loadedto process the error. These modules must be available either in a linklist library or via a JOBLIB or STEPLIB library. Abend-AID tables let youfurther control Abend-AID execution. Global default options and userexits provide a means of customizing Abend-AID processing.

Abend-AID operates in the normal problem-program state rather than thesupervisor state. This operation maintains the integrity of theapplication system.

Abend-AID's decision-making capabilities selectively invoke the necessary

diagnostic and reporting modules. This selection is based on variablessuch as the specific abend code, programming language, and file accessmethod. Abend-AID reports information based on the status of the programand the system at the time of the program failure.

To keep overhead to a minimum, Abend-AID invokes only the required modulesfor each error. Exact memory requirements depend on the particular error,the options installed, and the complexity of the program being analyzed.

1.3.2 Control Structure

Abend-AID can operate with the default parameters supplied by Compuware orcan be customized to your needs. Abend-AID reports can be produced forall application program failures because Abend-AID recognizes whichinformation is most helpful for problem resolution. Abend-AID alsoprovides a sophisticated control structure that can be utilized as needed.Compuware recommends that you employ these controls only after you haveidentified variations to the product defaults that will aid in resolutionof specific types of problems.

Abend-AID offers a six-level control structure that lets you tailorAbend-AID for specialized environments, such as different levels ofsupport for jobs, programs, or abend codes. The structure is ahierarchical sequence with the highest priority first. Use of aparticular control level overrides all of the controls that follow. Thesix levels of the control structure are:

o JCL modificationo User exitso Job and program selection tables

o Abend code tableso Global site options tableo System-wide control.

Each level is described below.

JCL Modification: This level lets you easily override the user exits,tables, and default system parameters. Examples of JCL modifications are:

Example 1: Causes Abend-AID to print the Help page:

//ABNLHELP DD DUMMY

Example 2: Causes Abend-AID to format and display all program storage andcontrol blocks, regardless of installation options:

//ABNLALL DD DUMMY

User Exits: Abend-AID provides optional user exits that you can use totailor output by particular jobs and/or programs. The exits dynamically

perform specialized processing at execution time. They can beparticularly useful for program development or for a phased installationof Abend-AID. The exits let you:

o Override job and program tables to specify an alternative abend codetable for particular errors.

o Alter the report file name, route output by job name or job-name prefix,dynamically suppress output, or automatically route output to a disk orprinter.


19/257

o Display selected storage areas, such as GETMAIN storage, or tables andcontrol blocks from user-written applications.

o Produce additional Abend-AID output for site-dependent reasons.

Job and Program Selection Tables: Selection tables let you specify theAbend-AID operation for particular programs or jobs. These operationsinclude dump (request an IBM dump), no dump (do not produce an IBM dump),ignore (do not produce an Abend-AID report), or proc (produce an Abend-AIDreport).

Abend Code Tables: Tables are supplied with the product that specify --by abend code, PL/I on-code, or LE condition code -- the action thatAbend-AID is to take when a problem is either fully or partially resolved.These actions include options for dump output, control block formatting,and program storage analysis. These tables allow complete flexibility intailoring the system.

Compuware distributes the abend code tables with the recommended settings.Because these settings are based on Compuware's experience with many

installations, modifications to the tables are seldom necessary.

Global Site Options Table: The global site options table provides variousAbend-AID system default options such as report width, the number of linesper page, the default Abend-AID report file name, and language type ofreport text.

System-Wide Control: This level is used to start Abend-AID on your systemor to stop Abend-AID from intercepting application program failures.

1.3.3 IBM Dump Provision

In most cases, the Abend-AID report is all that is needed to resolve theproblem. In the rare case when it cannot fully resolve the problem,Abend-AID provides all the information that can be obtained, and thenautomatically invokes a full IBM dump.

Abend-AID supplies tables that either request or suppress an IBM dumpbased on abend code, program name, or job name. Abend-AID DD statementscan be used to override any option selected with the installation tables.

1.3.4 Utilities

Several Abend-AID utility programs provide users with installation andservicing functions.


20/257

o Installation Verification Report: Check the installation of tables andmodules.

o Table Listing Program: Review the contents of the abend code tables,global table with site defaults, job/program selection tables, and theCSECT inclusion table.

| o License Management System: Install, check, or modify license| information.

o Abend-AID Maintenance Program: Apply object module maintenance to theAbend-AID system.

Other utilities provide users with operational and processing functions.

o Compuware/VF: Manage report and source listing files online.

o CSS Utilities: Set up a language processor or modify processing online.

o CSS Batch File Utilities: Manage report and source listing files inbatch mode.

1.3.5 User Manuals

A complete set of user documentation, in three online formats, is providedon CD-ROM with each release of Abend-AID. Refer to "Publications" intopic FRONT_1.2 for complete information.

2.0 Getting Started

This chapter prepares you to use Abend-AID reports.

Subtopics:

2.1 Setting Up Output 2.2 Before You Begin 2.3 Accessing Abend-AID 2.4 Accessing and Browsing a Report 2.5 Report Commands 2.6 Source Warnings 2.7 Y2K Rapid Response

2.1 Setting Up Output

Abend-AID requires a valid //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT= statement added to theexecution JCL in order to produce output. If you have a //SYSUDUMP DDstatement and do not get Abend-AID output, contact an Abend-AID installer.

Note: In Language Environment, a //SYSUDUMP DD statement is required forabends only. It is not necessary for condition code handling.


21/257

With Compuware/VF: In order for you to use Compuware/VF, Abend-AID outputmust be routed to an Abend-AID report file. Compuware/VF uses the outputthat is stored in the report file. If your output is not automaticallydirected to a report file, you must include an //ABNLTERM DD DSN statementin the abending program's JCL:

//STEP03 EXEC PGM=PROGNAME...//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*//ABNLTERM DD DSN=YOUR.REPORT.FILE,DISP=SHR

Without Compuware/VF: If your site does not use Compuware/VF, Abend-AIDoutput is written to the //SYSUDUMP DD or to the //ABENDAID DD statementif present in the execution JCL.

You can view Abend-AID reports as part of your job output from the SystemDisplay and Search Facility (SDSF).

2.2 Before You Begin

This section will help you prepare a sample Abend-AID report to look at inthe following section, "Accessing and Browsing a Report" in topic 2.4.You will find it of most help in the following situations:

2.4 Accessing and Browsing a Report

If you are using Abend-AID without Compuware/VF, refer to "WithoutCompuware/VF" in the preceding section.

The following procedure describes accessing and browsing an Abend-AIDreport through the Compuware/VF. The description differentiates XLS andbase language support and is directed toward a new Abend-AID installation.

Note: You can find complete information about the screens referred to inthis procedure, including commands and field summaries, in "Understandingthe Compuware/VF Interface."

1. Access the Compuware/VF Entry Panel as described in "AccessingAbend-AID."

2. At the Compuware/VF Entry Panel (Figure 2), you specify report andsource listing datasets. You can also identify the remote MVS images,if applicable, that they're located on. Complete the steps below asapplicable, then press Enter.

o For extended language support:a. Type 0 in the Dataset choice field to select the report dataset.

To look only at a compiled source listing instead of a report,specify a source dataset (1 - 8).

b. If necessary, name the report dataset on the 0 line and one ormore source listing datasets on the lines 1 - 8.

c. If a dataset is located on a different MVS system, in the field

Remote Server identify the Abend-AID server on that system. Atthe field Local Server SSID, identify the Abend-AID server on thelocal MVS system. Server IDs are assigned when the servers areconfigured for distributed viewing.

d. Specify YES at Merge report+source.o For base language support:

a. Type 0 in the Dataset choice field to select the report dataset.b. If necessary, name the report dataset on the 0 line.c. If a dataset is located on a different MVS system, in the field

2.5 Report Commands

You can scroll through the first five report sections. Other sectionsmust be accessed individually. Enter the section number or name in theCOMMAND INPUT field. Inside the report use standard scrolling commands.

The commands summarized below are also available.

Subtopics:

2.5.1 Source Command 2.5.2 F (Find) Command

2.5.1 Source Command


42/257

You can suppress the presence of source information in the report or lookat a directory listing of the members in your source datasets. The SOURCEcommand is available when YES is specified in the Merge report+sourcefield on the Entry Panel.

Apply SOURCE in the COMMAND INPUT field of any report section containingsource information or in the SELECT SECTION field of the Output Selectionmenu.

Source OnDefault. Display source. Applicable only to the open report.

Source OffSuppress source.

Source MismatchWhen you're working with COBOL or PL/I XLS, this command presents asource warning screen at which you can access a directory listing ofthe source datasets specified on the Entry Panel. For Assembler XLS,it directly presents the directory listing.

2.5.2 F (Find) Command

When viewing a report section, use the F (Find) command to search forspecific characters or character strings within the section:

Note: The word Find cannot substitute for any of the following syntax.

F xxxFinds the characters specified by xxx in the current report section.Ignores letter case.

F 'xxx yyy'Finds the character string specified by 'xxx yyy' with embedded blanks.Ignores letter case.

FFinds the character string specified in the previous FIND command.Ignores letter case. Use this command instead of the key.

FS xxxFinds the characters specified by xxx in the current report section.Case-sensitive.

FS 'xxx yyy'Finds the character string specified by 'xxx yyy' with embedded blanks.Case-sensitive.

FSFinds the character string specified in the previous FIND command.Case-sensitive. Use this command instead of the key.

2.6 Source Warnings


43/257

You receive a source warning if the following conditions are in effect:

o You entered YES in the Merge report+source field on the Entry Panel.o You entered YES in the Show source warning field on the Entry Panel.o The source listing files specified on the Entry Panel do not contain asource listing that matches the program identified in the selectedreport.

When you recompile your program to create a listing to be placed in thesource listing file, several factors can affect the matching of there-created listing with the original program object module. These factorsinclude the following:

o The source program and any included source code must be the same.o Compiler levels must be the same.o Compiler options affecting object code generation, such as OPTIMIZE,must be the same.

As a result, you may encounter the following warning screens.

Subtopics:

2.6.1 COBOL Mismatched Date and Time 2.6.2 PL/I Mismatched Structure 2.6.3 Assembler Unmatched Source Listing 2.6.4 Available Source Listings 2.6.5 Source-Not-Found

2.6.1 COBOL Mismatched Date and Time

When the compile date and time of a COBOL program being diagnosed does notmatch a program in the source listing file, you receive the Mismatched

Date and Time Warning, shown in Figure 16. You also obtain this screenwith the SOURCE MISMATCH command.

2.6.2 PL/I Mismatched Structure

When the compile time of a PL/I program is not in the load module,Abend-AID can't report it. A mismatch results. When a PL/I date or timemismatch occurs, Abend-AID automatically checks the most recent sourcelisting for matching program structure. If the structures do not match,you receive the Mismatched Structure Warning, shown in Figure 17. Youalso obtain this screen with the SOURCE MISMATCH command.

2.6.3 Assembler Unmatched Source Listing

Due to the characteristics of Assembler, Abend-AID may not be able toreliably identify a matching source listing file for Assemblerdiagnostics. In this case you will receive a directory similar to the oneshown in Figure 18. Select the member you need.

The directory is immediately presented when Abend-AID can't identify amatching source listing for Assembler diagnostics. In a diagnostic reportfor Assembler, you can also obtain this directory with the SOURCE MISMATCHcommand.

2.7 Y2K Rapid Response

Abend-AID is one of the find-and-fix tools in Compuware's Y2K RapidResponse survival kit. In addition to diagnostic reporting at the time ofabend, several Abend-AID facilities enable applications programmers to

respond as quickly as possible to program faults that may be associatedwith Y2K and Euro-currency program changes. These facilities provideadvantages in development and testing stages, as well as duringproduction.

Abend-AID's Rapid Response advantages, summarized below, require thecurrent release (7.6) of Compuware Shared Services. For completeinformation refer to the Compuware Shared Services User/Reference Guide orthe Compuware/VF online help. You can also find additional informationabout the report Data Locator section in "Diagnosing a COBOL Data-RelatedError."

| File-AID Access: Abend-AID users can keystroke directly into a Compuware| File-AID product from an Abend-AID report:

| o From the File section you can access File-AID/MVS.| o From the DB2 section you can access File-AID/DB2.| o From the IMS section you can access File-AID/IMS.

| Edit and Browse commands in the report take you into File-AID edit and| browse modes within a dataset or database. A current version of the| applicable File-AID product must be available on the operating system.

Data Locator: An online report section for COBOL diagnostics presents all

data-related source and fields, including Millenium Language Extensionsmodifications if MLE is active. Selecting COBOL Data Locator on theoutput menu shows you all formats used and flags data or formats that maybe invalid.

Access the Data Locator section as you would any report section. Datalocator specifications may be customized for any data strings or fields.

Source Comparison: A CSS batch utility command enables you to compare any


50/257

two source listings in a source listing file. The Flag command identifiesany lines in a more recent listing that differ from a previous listing.You can also compare listings in different source listing files.

Contact Information: You can attach a contact name and additionalinformation to an abended job for future reference. Access the ContactInformation summary from the Abend-AID Primary Menu, the Entry Panel, orthe Abend-AID Dataset Directory.

CSS Utilities: With the CSS Utilities you can modify compile JCL topreprocess or postprocess source code for XLS, or create and format reportand source listing files, all by entering specifications on ISPF panels.These operations previously involved JCL preparation and were typicallydone by a systems programmer. Access the utilities through the Abend-AIDPrimary Menu.

3.0 Diagnosing a COBOL Data-Related Error This chapter describes how to use Abend-AID to diagnose a common COBOL

error. Abend-AID provides two levels of COBOL support: extended languagesupport and basic language support.

Subtopics:

3.1 Resolving an S0C7 with Extended Language Support 3.2 COBOL Data Locator 3.3 Compiling for Basic Language Support 3.4 Resolving an S0C7 with Basic Language Support

3.1 Resolving an S0C7 with Extended Language Support

When you select a report section online through the Compuware ViewingFacility (Compuware/VF), with the applicable Compuware language processorin use, program source code can be automatically merged into the report.An Abend-AID report containing source code comprises Abend-AID extendedlanguage support.

COBOL XLS provides:

o The source code of the statement in error, shown in the Diagnosticsection. For data-related errors, all COBOL fields in the statement inerror are shown with their attributes and current values.

o The source code of the statement being executed, shown in theInstruction section.

o The names and contents of all individual COBOL fields in workingst
