    01. The return and reason code processing for SDUMP is not
        always correctly reported when issued from IBM Fault
        Analyzer.
    02. NORENT programs with DSAs imbedded in the CSECT, and often
        using non-standard linkage, are getting no event
        information.
    03. Fault Analyzer is not correctly handling the abend, which
        might be expected during normal processing.
    04. When an MVS dump is used as input to Fault Analyzer to get
        a fault report on the dump, the ErrorHandler program names
        might not get recognized correctly because MVS dump input
        does not trigger FA Binder mapping of modules.
    05. DSECT has more fields than can be contained in single LANGX
        structure record, but only the first LANGX record is
        processed.
    06. FA processes all the trace entries in a particular trace
        block.
    07. Fault Analyzer RFR recovery after IDI0005 storage shortage
        can get IDI0089I Subsystem IDISLOG RC=8 Rsn=63 SDUMP usage
        error attempting to do a second SDUMP.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 01. Reason code processing corrected.
    02. Code added to detect the static DSA and at least show load
        module and CSECT data in the event list.
    03. Fault Analyzer is now handling the abend.
    04. The ErrorHandler code will also check entry point name, if
        program name has not been determined for an event.
    05. Multiple LANGX structure records now processed for large
        assembler DSECTs.
    06. FA is changed to stop formatting once the current timestamp
        is less than the previous timestamp.
    07. The logic is corrected to determine if the RFR dump has
        already been taken.
