You or IBM® can use a search argument to search a problem reporting data base to look for a problem similar to the one you encountered. If the problem was reported previously, a problem reporting data base contains information about the problem and, possibly, a fix. See z/OS Problem Management for detailed descriptions of formatting search arguments and searching data bases.
The following table shows symptoms for RMF™ search arguments. The table summarizes the symptoms recommended in the diagnostic procedures in Diagnosing problems in RMF.
Use the free-format if your installation has a free-format search tool, such as INFO/System with the INFO/MVS data base.
Use the structured format if your installation has a structured format search tool, such as INFO/Management or INFO/Access.
