When I issue the IEAMSCHED macro, and Abend SAC7 occurs without any dump. Since this is a user error, taking a dump is your responsibility (whether by recovery with SDUMP(X) or via DD statements if your task and/or job will terminate due to this error). While it does not always do it this way,

As you have seen, the syntax rules for LPALST and comments do not follow other comment functions. This is probably due to where it is loaded and the process has a very strict syntax for the process. So depending on where you put your /* you could have lost many datasets that were to be loaded by

Catching CICS Transaction ABENDs?

I have been asked this question and I don't know enough about CICS to even be dangerous. What sort of facility might one use to write a program to be notified in real time of CICS transaction ABENDs? For example, can CICS be configured to write an SMF record (that one could intercept in IEFU8x)

With CICS you do not want to put anything in place that could delay its actions. A lot of shops will be reluctant to shave even one second off a CICS transaction. It could have a major impact. So CICS has some help inside the product. CICS does produce DFH messages that document some but not
