2FB

Explanation

The system has abnormally ended at one of the following points in processing:
  1. A critical error occurred early in JES3 or the functional subsystem (FSS) initialization or late in JES3 abnormally ending. The JES3 ESTAE environment had not yet been established or is deleted, so no JES3-formatted ABEND dump is available.
  2. Once JES3 initialization has successfully established the JES3 ESTAE routine (IATABMN), the retry routine (IATABRT) uses this ABEND code to return to IATABMN in order to percolate.

An MVS™ dump will always appear for a X'2FB' ABEND, regardless of the original abend code. The original abend code is shown in message IAT3713 to the operator and in the JES3-formatted dump. The dump by itself does not tell whether the failing JES3 function recovered or had to be ended.

Note: An MVS dump with a 2FB means that IATABRT or a routine used by module IATABRT failed, thereby producing the 2FB abend.

System action

In the first case, JES3 writes message IAT3702 to the operator and to a dump data set of the type specified during JES3 initialization. This message details critical debugging information.

Operator response

In the first case, respond to message IAT3nnn.

System programmer response

Obtain the abend dump for the failing job step.

If the problem occurred in JES3 you should:
  • Save the hardcopy log
  • Provide a listing of the initialization deck (JES3OUT)
  • Provide a console log from initialization
  • Check the JESYSMSG data set for error indications

Programmer response

In the second case, analyze the abend dump to find the cause of the error.
