CICS timeout default value

There is TIMEOUT subparameter in CICS segment of user profile in RACF. AFAIK when there is no CICS segment for the user default values are taken from the segment of CICS default user. What in case there is no CICS segment for default user? What is the timeut value in effect? Is is 0 (means no

System vs. user ABEND codes

I suspect that one of the original OS/360 developers decided that U0C7 could easily be confused with S0C7. So they adopted the convention of documenting and displaying User Abend Codes in decimal vs Hex for System Abends. They are both unsigned 12 bit numbers, 0 to 4095 in decimal of 000 to

I always thought it was the hex just sort of seemed system-like and decimal numbers were, you know, for those COBOL types. g I always wondered why did they put two more or less mutually-exclusive data in two different 12-bit fields? If they had devoted 11 bits to the ABEND code and one bit to

Good thought, although the confusion is still possible for, say S122 versus U122. Of the 4095 possible system ABEND codes, just under a quarter are valid decimal numbers also. Charles -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of

Yeah, 23. I was thinking in base 22. g After I wrote it I thought that 23-bit ABEND codes were probably a bit much but 16 bits might have been an improvement on 12, especially since the hardware provides halfword support and lots of things are in halfwords. I have never worked on an octal
