There are a couple of things you can do.
1) Issue the TSO Command ISPVCALL then execute the panel or function that
gives the ***. After you get the *** then issue the command again. It will
produce a trace of the ISPF Function. It is very detailed but may show you
a REXX or CLIST name you recognize.
2) Go into ISPF TEST. Make sure your LOG data set in ISPF is setup to
collect information first.
a) Go to OPTION 7 (BREAKPOINTS) and use DISPLAY as the function and
YES for all traces
b) Go to Option 8 (TRACES) and under both sections put a YES where
there is a NO.
c) Go to Option 1 and execute either your primary panel or the ISPF
Function that has the error. Reply G to all requests until you get the ***.
Then use C (Cancel)
d) Go to the ISPF log data set (Option 5) and start looking to see
what was running at the time.
The ISPVCALL traces all ISPF Functions so be prepared for a lot of
information in it. The ISPF TRACE only traces the ISPF functions and will
be less detail.
If you need more information, contact me offline.
