You can determine the name of the failing module for an abend in several ways, depending on how the system indicated the failure and the conditions under which you invoked ISPF and ISMF. Table 1 summarizes abend processing. To determine the module name, go to the section indicated under the "Type of Dump" column.
| ISPF Mode | ISMF Profile | Abend Indicator | Type of Dump |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | RECOVER FROM ABENDS ===> Y | ISMF abend panel | ISMF symptom dump, see Using the ISMF symptom dump |
| Normal | RECOVER FROM ABENDS ===> N | ISPF abend panel | ISPF symptom dump, see Using the ISPF symptom dump |
