Use CEDF.

use this Link to find manuals for your version of CICS for:
  • APPLICATION PROGRAMMERS Guide
  • CICS Supplied Transactions

If you have an old version of CICS, you will need to bookmark the links to each manual.
If you are on a newer version of CICS, you can download the PDF version of the manual.

The trace referred to by CECI needs to be set up and controlled by your site CICS support group. It is not intended to be used by an application programmer to debug their application, although it probably could be so used (but not speedily). The trace facility allows CICS support people to determine what is causing problems with the whole region.

Hi Robert,

That is what i need to trace the cause of the problem. if you could provide me any link or document on CECI Trace may be it would be helpfule.

the actual error that i'm getting is:
Quote:

DFHAC2206 11:16:57 CPPM0 Transaction MT05 failed with abend AZI6. Updates to local recoverable resource backed out. DFHAC2261 System A071 sent message (sense code 0824089E). ‘DFHAC2206 11:16:57 CPPM1 Transaction MT05 failed with abend ASRA. Updates to local recoverable resources backed out.


In one of our CICS screens, we can see only 16 items per page. If we have to go further, then user need to press PF8 to navigate forward. After couple of PF8 we are getting the above display message.

Have you looked up the AZI6 error in the manual? Do you understand what the AZI6 means? Do you understand that an AZI6 means that using CECI TRACE in your region will do you absolutely no good?

Glad you got it resolved -- so the AOR had an ASRA that got translated to the AZI6 in the TOR, eh?
