I am not really a COBOL programmer. But I am familar with COBOL. Anyway, we had
a looping transaction in CICS/TS 3.2 on z/OS 1.10. I used a monitor program -
Mainview for CICS from BMC, to abend the transaction. This produced an
AbendAid/CICS dump. Which is of little use because our COBOL code is very
PERFORM heavy. Basically what the dump showed was that I was in a paragraph
which looked mainly like:
DO-READ.
EXEC CICS READ ...
END EXEC.
The paragraph DO-READ is referenced via a PERFORM verb in about 10 different
places to read this file. How do I tell which PERFORM was the one which was
most likely looping? I.e. I know how to backtrace a series of CALL verbs via
save areas. But how is this done for a PERFORM backtrace?
