Answer / guest
Any AEI_ indicates an execute interface program problem -
the abending program encountered an exceptional condition
that was not anticipated by the coding. APCT - the program
could not be found or is disabled. ASRA - most common CICS
abend, indicating a program check, identified by a one-byte
code in the Program Status Word in the dump. AKCP - the
task was cancelled; it was suspended for a period longer
than the transaction's defined deadlock timeout period.
AKCT - The task was cancelled because it was waiting too
long for terminal input.
ABMB: U USED the absolute cursor positioning technique and
supplied a cursor positions that's beyond the limit of the
output device.
ASRB: an os abend has occurred ; CICS WAS ABLE TO ABEND THE
transaction and continue processing.
AEI0 : INDICATES a PGMIDERR.
AEI9 : is a mapfail condition.
AEIO : indicates a duplicate key ( DUPKEY ) condition.
AEIN : indicates a duplicate record ( DUPREC ) condition.
AEID : indicates an END OF FILE condition.
AEIS : indicates that a file is not open( NOTOPEN)
AEIP : indicates an invalid request condition ( INVREQ )
AEY7 : indicates that u r not authorised to use a resource
( NOTAUTH ).
AICA : the task exceeded the execution time limit for
runaway tasks ( the task was looping ).
ABMO : THE SPECIFIED MAP IS NOT in d mapset . the map name
is misspelled either in the program or in d mapset or the
program specifies the wrong mapset.
ATCH AND ATCI : the task was purged , probably as the
result of a deadlock situation. the task may ve been purged
automatically when it exceeded the deadlock timeout , or it
may ve been purged by master terminal operator issuing the
CEMT TASK PURGE command.
APCT : the program cud not be found or is disabled.
AKCT : THE task was cancelled becoz it was waiting for
terminal input for a period longer than the transaction
defined terminal read timeout period . this happens when an
operator starts a conversational program and then leaves
the terminal unattended for a long period of time.
AFCA: a dataset cud not be accessed becoz it was disabled.
AEY9 : invalid EXEC CICS command issued.
