Abnormal end codes

DFSMShsm generates user abnormal ends in two cases:

999 (X'3E7'): Caused when the DFSMShsm STOP command is issued with the DUMP parameter.
1000 (X'3E8') + return code: Caused when the DFSMShsm internal return code is flagged for special processing that includes generating an abnormal end dump. See Return code processing for further explanation.

System abnormal ends can also occur, but all modules in the DFSMShsm address space are ESTAI-protected. Control can be given to the task-related ESTAI module from any DFSMShsm module in the event of a system abnormal end. The task-related ESTAI module performs cleanup functions and then allows a subtask abnormal end process to continue. The main DFSMShsm task establishes subtasks that abnormally ended again.
