CICS transaction abends

CICS transaction abends are recorded in the CICS CSMT log, and a message is produced at the terminal (if there is one). A CICS AICA abend indicates a possible loop. Refer to Dealing with loops for more information. If you have a CICS abend, using CEDF and the CICS trace might help you to find the cause of the problem. See the CICS Problem Determination Guide for more information.
