To find a system error, record the system error number from the message (for example, 000101) and then use the system error number to search for the system error.
Once you locate the system error, you will notice that the system error number is framed in a box for quick access. Below each system error you will find the following pieces of information to help you analyze it.
Indicates the name of the program that found the error when that program is not available to the TPF system for display on the console and printed in the dump.
Provides the text of the system error that is displayed on your screen and in the dump, if there is any. If there are supplementary messages appearing in the dump, you will find more than one error message for each system error.
Indicates additional informative messages provided by the programmer coding the SERRC macro. Appended messages are displayed on the console and in the dump.
Provides a brief description of the error conditions and an indication of why an error occurred. If there is no explanation necessary, the word None is shown.
Indicates the action taken by the control program as a result of the error and provides an explanation that indicates the results of the error. If there is no system action taken, the word None is shown.
Provides suggestions for a user action to correct the problem. Bulleted lists and numbered lists may be used to present this information to you. A bulleted list is used to present several different actions you can perform to resolve the problem. These actions are ordered from the least severe to the most severe. A numbered list is used whenever you must follow a procedure in sequential order to resolve a problem. If there is no user response, the word None is shown. The user responses are suggestions. Any action should be cleared with your system support personnel first.
System errors 000500-000517 relate to the system services control point (SSCP) function of SNA support. Many of the problem determination portions of the system error formats refer to the resource vector table (RVT) data contained in a block on level 6. This information is valid only if the resource identifier (RID) of the NODE in error is valid. The layout of the 128-byte block for these dumps follows here.
To further aid in troubleshooting an SSCP problem, the path information unit (PIU) trace block at the time of the failure is also recorded in the dump. This is done only if PIU trace is active for the Network Control Program (NCP) producing the error. The PIU data starts in decimal location 032, X'20'. In location 008 of the block is a pointer to the last entry recorded. This block is on level 3.
The following is an example of how system errors and their associated information are presented.
000101
Program: CCSNA1(CS01, CS07, CSX4)
Error Message: CONDITION CODE 1 RETURN TO SIOSC
Explanation: An SIOSC macro was issued and a condition code 1 that was not valid was received from CIO. The SIOSC macro processor in IPLB segment CCIO should only be returning a condition code of:
System Action: A catastrophic system error is issued. The system performs an IPL.
User Response: See a system programmer to investigate the problem. The problem may be a logic error in CIO.
