CMAC—messages and codes display
Chapter 18. CMAC—messages and codes display
Use CMAC to give you individual message information as
provided in the
CICS Messages and Codes
manual.
To use the CMAC transaction:
Add the DFHCMAC group on the CICS system definition
(CSD) file to your initialization list (DFHLIST)
Add the data set name of the CICS messages file to the
definition of the DFHCMACD file within the DFHCMAC
group.
For information about how to carry out these actions, see the
CICS Resource Definition Guide
manual.
Notes:
1. This transaction is not valid for the MVS console.
2. The information is available only in English.
You start the transaction by typing one of the following:
1. CMAC
2. CMAC abcd where ‘abcd’ is the abend code.
3. CMAC xxxx where ‘xxxx’ is the message number only.
4. CMAC yyxxxx where ‘yy’ is the component id and ‘xxxx’
is the message number.
5. CMAC DFHxxxx where ‘xxxx’ is the message number.
6. CMAC DFHyyxxxx where ‘yy’ is the component id and
‘xxxx’ is the message number.
If you use method 1, you get the display shown in
Figure 162.
