I am getting a online abend AICA.The transaction initiated every day but once or twice in a month this abend occurs and most of time the it went fine.

I believe if I have looping problem in my program then I will get AICA for my transaction .if it is giving abed once or twice in a month then there is no problem with my code.it may occurs for RUNWAY TASK Interval Time.

I am new to CICS and I don’t know where I can check the runway interval time or icvr value.

Please help

You believe wrong. It is possible that your program is entering a loop when certain conditions are met, a few times a month, and otherwise running fine.

Contact your site support group and get the CICS support person (or group) to help you. If not already set up, the CICS support can capture a dump that will allow analysis of the AICA and correction of the cause. Checking system parameters are not normally part of an application programmer's job and your support group should be your FIRST contact with any CICS problem.

The first thing I would look for is an array index/subscript that is not being incremented.

Does the task abend with an address of X'FFFFFFFF'?

What is in the CICS Trace?

Ask your CICS Sysprog to print the AICA transaction dump.

Do you have Abend-Aid or DumpMaster?
