Displaying environmental data for COBOL

If you have Abend-AID installed at your site, you can use the AA SNAP command to display an Abend-AID Snapshot report containing environment specific run-time characteristics during a test session. If you have the VSAM, IDMS, IMS, or Db2 Abend-AID options, the report displays subsystem-related debugging information as follows:

IDMS

  • CA-IDMS environment data (subschema, commit point, status)
  • Subschema control (DB-Key information, current and error record/area)
  • Database command trace (database call and status trace)
  • DB-Key cross reference
  • Current records (record name, DB-Key)
  • Current sets (set name, record name, program reference, DB-Key)
  • Current areas (area name, record name, mode, program reference, DB-Key).

Db2

  • SQL return code
  • Host variable
  • SQL statement
  • Db2 release, subsystem, authorization, attach mode
  • Plan, bind date/time, isolation, acquire, release, validate
  • DBRM, precompile date/time, host language, SQL escape, SQL decimal
  • Host variables referenced
  • Table and column definition
  • SQLCA
  • Plan dependencies.

IMS

  • Function call
  • Current PCB (PCB address, database name, segment level, status code, process options, segment name, Key length, number of segments, Key feedback length)
  • JCB database call trace (call type, status code, description)
  • SSA.

VSAM

  • Data set ddname
  • Access method
  • Record and Key length
  • File request type.
