ABENDxxxx procedure

HLASM Installation and Customization Guide
SC26-3494-05

On z/OS, if a system abend code is available, replace the xxxx of ABENDxxxx with the system abend code, prefixed by a zero. For example, if the code was a system abend 0C4, specify ABEND00C4 as your keyword. If the failure occurred with a system abend 0C1, your set of keywords, so far, consists of:
```
Component Identification:     569623400
 
Release Level:                R600
 
Type of Failure:              ABEND00C1
```

If you receive the following message on CMS, use OPERATION and EXCEPTION as keywords.

DMSITP141T Operation exception occurred at 6BB40C in routine ASMAHL

Your set of keywords then consists of:

Component Identification:     569623400
 
Release Level:                R600
 
Type of Failure:              OPERATION EXCEPTION

On z/VSE, ABENDs will be accompanied by a message which describes the cause of the error. Use words from the message as keywords. For example, if you receive the following message, you could use PROTECTION and EXCEPTION as keywords.
```
0S03I PROGRAM CHECK INTERRUPTION - HEX LOCATION 0006D2D0 - CONDITION CODE 0
- PROTECTION EXCEPTION
```
Your set of keywords then consists of:
```
Component Identification:     569623400
 
Release Level:                R600
 
Type of Failure:              PROTECTION EXCEPTION
```

On CMS or z/VSE, if using words from the message as your type-of-failure keyword does not produce a match in the software support database, use the equivalent z/OS system abend code as the type-of-failure keyword.

The most common errors, with their z/OS system abend codes, are:

Table 1. System Abend Codes
Error	System Abend Code
Operation exception	0C1
Privileged operation exception	0C2
Execute exception	0C3
Protection exception	0C4
Addressing exception	0C5
Specification exception	0C6
Data exception	0C7
Fixed-point overflow exception	0C8
Fixed-point divide exception	0C9

Determine with which assembler options the failure occurs. If the failure occurs only when using certain options, indicate those options in the keyword string. Select the applicable modifier keyword from the list shown in Assembler options.
Continue with Step 4. System-type keyword.
