Abend-Aid questions
We're not Abend-Aid licensees, so we have no access to complete documentation. I find some help on the Web, but I want to get this right and not burden the customer with a whole lot of try this. We have a customer where we have a problem (S238 - yes, I know what that is trying to tell us) and are not getting a dump, which would be a very helpful tool in this situation. The customer does not know how to force a dump. We are seeing the following messages: LEAID ENTERED (LEVEL 05/14/2013 AT 15:14) LEAID LEAID109 ABEND-AID PROCESSING IGNORED.
