3FC

Explanation

The system detected an error in the processing following an external interrupt. The program that experienced the external interrupt is running under a task control block (TCB) or service request block (SRB).

A hexadecimal reason code in register 15 explains the error:
Code
Explanation
00
The system detected, but does not support, a third recursion of this interrupt.
04
An error occurred during processing for the interrupt.
08
An error occurred during a first recursion.
0C
An error occurred during a second recursion.

System action

The system abnormally ends the active task that experienced the external interrupt. The system writes a logrec data set error record.

Operator response

If the system programmer asks for an SVC dump, set the following SLIP trap:
SLIP SET,COMP=3FC,ACTION=SVCD,END

System programmer response

Do the following:
  • Find the original abend causing the problem in the system diagnostic work area (SDWA) in the logrec data set error record.
  • Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, ask the operator to set a SLIP trap to obtain an SVC dump. Contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the SVC dump and the logrec data set error records.

Programmer response

Resubmit the job. If the error recurs, contact the system programmer.
