To create a history file entry:
If necessary, change the supplied name of the history file (obey the ISPF data set name
specification rules).
Optionally change the Suppress Minidump option to 'Y' to show that a minidump with the
indicated number of pages must not be created.
Press Enter.
The "History file DSN" field is by default initialized with the current history file name that
is selected on the Fault Entry List display. If a view is being used, then the first history file
name that is specified in the view member is used. To avoid creating a history file entry, press
either F3 or F12.
If a history file entry was created, message IDI0003I is issued to
inform you of the assigned fault ID. The history file in which the fault entry was created is
automatically selected as the current history file. A MATCH FAULT_ID
fault_id command is issued so that only the newly created fault
entry is displayed. This command is issued because the newly created fault entry might not be at the
top of the chronologically ordered Fault Entry List display, and thus difficult to locate. To again
see all fault entries in the history file, enter the MATCH ALL command (normally
mapped to PF12).
The performance of subsequent reanalysis of the fault is improved
by creating a fault history entry for a CICS® system
abend, and writing a minidump.
