Displaying user-selected message or abend code explanations

The LOOKUP command can be issued from the interactive fault history file display or the interactive fault reanalysis report. The command can be used to display explanations for user-selected message IDs or abend codes. It can also be used to display other information, such as DB2® SQLCODEs or VSAM feedback codes. (For the command syntax, see LOOKUP.)

For example, if entering the command: 
LOOKUP IEC141I
a panel containing the message explanation is displayed as shown in Sample Message ID Look-Up display.
Figure 1. Sample Message ID Look-Up display

If the LOOKUP command is entered without any parameters, a display from which a message ID, abend code, or other available item of information can be specified is shown:
Figure 2. Sample Lookup Search and Browse display
Lookup Search and Browse                                       Line 1 Col 1 80
Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR
