The initial interactive report display for a CICS® system abend is different from that of any other fault type. The content is logically divided into the following sections:

Available options

At the top of the display are options that can be selected by placing the cursor on the option number and pressing the Enter key. The tab key can be used to position the cursor to the option that you want. The individual options are explained in the sections that follow.

Dump reason

If available, the list of options is followed by the reason why the analyzed dump was taken.

Analysis observations

If any, the dump reason is followed by observations made during the analysis. These are loosely divided into three categories based on severity:

Severity: Description
1: Problems that are likely to be reasons for the fault.
2: Problems that might be reasons for the fault.
If ten or more severity 2 observations are available, then a point-and-shoot link that takes you to a separate display is provided instead.
3: Problems that generally would not be considered contributing reasons for the fault, but merely items of interest.
If five or more severity 3 observations are available, then a point-and-shoot link that takes you to a separate display is provided instead.
