Steve,
>From the ISPF Msgs and Codes book :
Abend code 999 (or X'3E7') This abend is issued for the following
reasons:
No function pool is established for a command processor.
For example, a command processor that uses ISPF services is
invoked using option 6 or SELECT CMD, but the command processor does not
have a function pool. The user needs to have an entry for the
command processor in the ISPTCM with the X'40' flag set on. The X'40'
flag indicates that the command requires a function pool. Refer
to ISPF Planning and Customizing for more information on customizing the
ISPTCM.
An error occurs while another error is already being processed. ISPF
issues the abend code 999 in this case to protect against an infinite
loop.
An error occurred during ISPF initialization.
For example:
An I/O error occurred due to ISPF library allocations such as
ISPSLIB, ISPPLIB, ISPMLIB, and so forth, containing inconsistent or
incorrect DCB attributes.
An ISPF library allocation does not contain the required ISPF libraries
in its concatenation.
For example, the ISPMLIB contains user product libraries but not
ISPF libraries.

Subject: ABEND U999 in ISPF
Can anyone give me any reason why a REXX routine would cause ISPF to die
with a U0999 and dump you off to TSO READY?
OK, background to this: ISPF IPCS REXX. All the REXX exec does is look
at a dump to find a certain type of control block and list it, note some
comments, and exit.
The problem is, for most users the REXX in question works with no
problem. For yours truly (trying to add some new functionality), it
takes ISPF out.
I have rebuilt my profile D/S and that didn't do anything except cause
me to lose things other applications needed.
Regards,
Steve Thompson
