The transaction was terminated with the ASRA abend because the CICS system
recovery detected a program check. This may occur for any of the following
reasons.
The invalid operation code exception occurs when the operation code of the
instruction to be executed is not a valid code or not available on the CPU
that the program is running on.
The priviledged operation exception normally occurs by executing a
priviledged instruction while the program is executing in problem state.
Since an ASRA abend was the last abend to occur, this screen automatically displays the diagnostics for an ASRA. The diagnostics for all CICS abend codes can be displayed from this screen.

The transaction was terminated with the AICA abend because a runaway task
condition was detected by the timer interrupt routine of CICS TS and the
task is being abnormally terminated. The condition indicates a possible
logical loop within the user's program.
Take corrective action within the program being executed. If auxiliary
trace is active when the AICA abend occurs, then disable runaway task and
retry the transaction to determine if a true runaway task condition was
detected.
