11367: When Things Go Wrong: Abends in Your Assembler Program and How You Can Recover From Them

Friday, August 10, 2012: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
Grand Ballroom Salon B (Anaheim Marriott Hotel)
Speaker: Vit Gottwald(CA Technologies)
Handouts
  • All you need to know to write your first ESTAE routine (841.9 kB)

    • In this session we will explain what an ABEND is, what z/OS does when an ABEND occurs, and will discuss techniques your assembler routines can use to deal with ABENDs or even fully recover from them.
     
    We’ll show an example of a very simple recovery routine (ESTAE) and we’ll explain important concepts, rules and parts of the Recovery Termination Manager (RTM) such as PIC, FLIH, RTM, (E)SPIE, (E)STAE, SDWA, RTM2WA, FRR, etc. We will also discuss common issues and "surprises" when dealing with recovery routines.
     
    This session is targeted primarily towards assembler programmers but it will also provide a refresher of z/OS ABEND processing and recovery concepts in general.

    Tracks: Application Development, Software Architecture, z/OS Systems Programming and zNextGen
