Select the Job Console Log for the TSO session after experiencing an IOF abend. Both dumps should appear. Please have these dumps available when calling IOF Technical Support. Attach a copy of the dumps to emailed problem reports.

A sample Job Console Log including the two dumps is shown below.

IOF Technical Support can be reached by phone at (919) 544-0090.

When it abends, IOF usually displays a seven to twelve line diagnostic area on the screen. A copy of the diagnostic area is also written to the Job Console Log of the TSO session, and to SYSLOG. This diagnostic information is very helpful to IOF technical support when diagnosing a problem. Please attach a copy of the diagnostic area to your email or have a copy available when you call IOF technical support.

If you are making modifications to IOF exits or source code, knowledge of the diagnostic area format will also be useful to you.

Line 1 contains the abend code, the coded PSW and coded R14 at the time of the abend. The PSW and R14 are coded so that they can be used to determine where in IOF the abend occurred without the need of a link edit map. In example diagnostic area above, line 1 column 1 contains X'840C1000'. This indicates a system abend 0C1. The coded PSW in word 2 has a value of X'001107E2'. The first 2 bytes, X'0011' is a coded CSECT code as shown below. The second 2 bytes, X'07E2' is the displacement within the coded CSECT. The third word, X'001D050C', is the coded CSECT and displacement of the return register, R14.

Line 2 contains the twelve bytes of data surrounding the PSW. Lines 3 through 7 contain the PSW, instruction length, interrupt code, translate exception address, and the 16 general purpose registers in effect at the time of the abend. If the abend occurs inside an SVC, then 5 additional lines containing another set of PSW and register values is also displayed.

The following list provides some of the more common csect codes for user modifiable code:

JESCTL	0411
SELSETUP	0420
FNCTNLOG	070A
FORMDEV	0431
