Procedure

You can determine the name of the module that detected the error by using the problem determination area (PDA), except for common filter services, which neither employ an ESTAE nor use a PDA.

The failure-related ISPF log entry's FEEDBACK field contains the PDA information. See Figure 1 for a sample entry containing PDA information. See DASD common services diagnostic aids for a description of the PDA contents.

  1. Use the module name identified in the PDA as the module keyword.
  2. Record any other significant keywords on the Keyword worksheet with prefixes applicable to their nature. (For example, specify the return code as RCnn.)
