Expanding messages and abend codes
Messages or abend codes are initially never expanded when using the interactive dump reanalysis
feature of Fault Analyzer. This lack of expansion is to
prevent the need to scroll through potentially very long explanations to see report items that
might follow. Instead, to view the explanation for messages or abend codes in the interactive
report, one can place the cursor on the message identifier or abend code and press the Enter key.
This opens a display similar to what you see in the batch report as the example shown in
Sample Message Explanation display.
When a message is displayed in the report, the first occurrence
of the message contains the actual text from when it was issued (see ❶ in
the above example). If the instance-specific text is not available,
then a comment job-specific text not available
replaces it.
In the expansion that immediately follows the issued message or abend code is its explanation
that is generally obtained from the softcopy books provided with Fault Analyzer. If an explanation for the message or abend
code cannot be found, then the text explanation not available
replaces it.
