CPA0335E
An unknown type of field was requested: “xxxxxxxxxxxx

Explanation

The CICS® 12-byte ID requested by a report processor and found by the dictionary processor is invalid. The field type (for example, A=COUNTER, S=CLOCK/COUNT) is unrecognizable and can't be processed by the dictionary processor.

System action

The return code is set and control is returned to the module that requested the data. A nonzero return code tells the requesting module the data is either invalid or can't be found.

User response

This was most likely a user error caused by incorrect definition of user fields. The data type (ninth character position in the CICS 12-byte ID) must be a valid CICS data type. Review the CICS Customization Guide for the valid data types in the CICS Monitoring Facility. Verify that all user fields are defined correctly before contacting your IBM® representative for help.
