Step 3. Type-of-failure keyword procedure

Various types of failures might occur in the High Level Assembler licensed program. Read the following table and select the type of failure that best describes the problem. Then go to the associated keyword procedure listed in this table for instructions on how to complete the keywords for that type of failure. If more than one keyword describes the problem you are experiencing, use the one that appears first in the table.

Table 1. Types of High Level Assembler failures
Type-of-Failure	Symptom	Procedure
Abnormal Termination	The assembler has ended abnormally without a message, or with a completion code that indicates a system abend has occurred.	Abnormal termination problem procedures.
Message Problems	A message indicates an assembler error, or there seems to be an error with the message itself.	Message problem procedures.
No Response Problems	The assembler seems not to be doing anything, or is doing something repetitively.	Loop or no response problem procedures.
Output Problems	The output from the assembler is missing or incorrect.	Output problem procedures.
Performance Problems	The performance of the assembler is degraded.	Performance problem procedures.
Documentation Problems	Information in one of the High Level Assembler publications is incorrect or missing.	Documentation problem procedures.
