Displaying environmental data with Assembler

If you have Abend-AID Release 7.0.2 or above 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.
