One of my program got failed with AETA abend. Really I donot know what the abend means and what would have gone wrong with my program.

Only if I know the meaning of the AETA abend, I can come up with a fix.

Please let me know

I've taken lot of time trying to understand what the Abend means .I got the below information about the abend AETA

AETA
Explanation
A CICS transaction has issued a non-CICS command via an application "stub" (an expansion of a DFHRMCAL macro). Program DFHERM has determined that the exit has been disabled since the previous DFHRMCAL request was issued from the transaction.

System action
The task is abnormally terminated with a transaction dump

Module
DFHERM

But I could not understand even a single word in the description. My program got failed when trying to execute an IF statement . I'm wondering what this is to do with AETA abend.


Program IR05 failed with Abend Code AETA when executing the IF
in the following statement:

013392 IF FILE-STATUS-DB-NOT-AVAIL

Please help.

the program name IR05 might be meaningful for you, but for us is irrelevant

at what stage of development/testing You get the error ...
is this the first test You are running ???

In the transaction dump, there should be a TRACE, which shows the CICS commands issued, which may be helpful.

Does anyone in your shop have knowledge of IPCS?

If neither of these suggestions suffice, then ship the transaction dump to IBM and they'll review it.

However, if it does work its way up to CICS Level2 support (in the States, they're located in Raleigh, North Carolina), then keep in mind that they may require a region dump.

Regards,

Bill

Hi Enrico/Bill,

Thanks for getting back to me. Actually the program is a well working one.
But suddenly it got failed with this AETA abend, this is the first time in 10 years that the program got failed with AETA abend.

Sorry I don't have the TRACE of the dump and nobody aware of IPCS.

Thanks.
