Abend codes of FPB

The abend code, which is a 4-digit number, is related to the numeric part of message ID.

FPB messages start with FABx. If an abend code is issued, determine which utility issued the abend code by referring to the Messages. Then, add the four-digit number that was issued as the abend code, and look up the message explanation for that message.

For example, if abend code 3501 was issued when running a DEDB Pointer Checker job, add prefix FABA (message prefix for DEDB Pointer Checker) and suffix E to the abend code, and look up the explanation of message FABA3501E.

Report any undocumented 39xx or 40xx abend codes to IBM®.
