- Most of the abend codes that occur most often fall into two categories: exceptional condition abends and program check abends.
- An exceptional condition abend occurs when a CICS command encounters an unusual situation and the RESP option was not included.
- These abend codes starts with AEI OR AEY indicates they are exceptional conditions.
- Program Check abend: When a program tries to do operations whch are not allowed by HARDWARE. This results in ASRA abend.
- AEIV - Length Error
- AEI0 - PGMID Error & AEIO - Duprec
- AEI9 - MAP FAIL
- AEIZ - Item Error
For an ASRA abend, the Program Status Word (PSW) in the storage dump contains a one-byte code identifying the type of program check.
- ABM0: The specified map isn’t in the mapset. The map name is misspelled either in the program or in the mapset, or the program specifies the wrong mapset.
- APCT: The program could not be found or is disabled.
