z/OS (OS/390) ABEND Codes

Some of the most common abnormal end (ABEND) conditions are described below. For on-line help in TSO, enter abend xxxx where xxxx is the abend code you received. If the suggested course of action doesn't work, call a consultant for further assistance.

CodeCondition
S001Error occurred while attempting input or output.
S0C1Operation exception. Clobbered code. Probable subscript error.
S0C4Program is attempting to store data outside dimension bound. Check your subscripts.
S0C7Bad data. Check data for errors.
S222The job was cancelled by the user, system, or operator. The system log should state the problem. If not, call CNS Operations or see a consultant.
S322CPU time exceeded. Probable logic error or bad data. Check program for infinite loops. Reduce do-loop iterations or amount of data to determine problem. If re-run still exceeds limit, see a consultant.
S722Estimated number of output lines exceeded. See ABEND S322 above.
S804Region size too small. Increase REGION=nnnK on JOB statement.
S80ASame as above.
S806Attempt to load a non-existent program. Load module or program doesn't exist; check STEPLIB and EXEC statements and PGM parameter on EXEC statement.
S n 13Attempt to open a data set failed. The " n " may be a variety of numbers. Check DD statements and/or IBM System Messages manuals.
SB37Space allocated too small for data set or data set ran out of extents. Reallocate data set with more space. Insufficient space on specific disk. Squeeze data set or move it to another volume.
SD37Same as above.
SE37Same as above.

Changing Your NERMVS and NERSP Passwords

Two Systems, Two Passwords

CNS operates two separate systems, NERMVS and NERSP, each with its own password. Changing your password on one does NOT affect the other. NERSP, which hosts most campus e-mail, has passwords that do not expire. NERMVS passwords expire every six months, and MUST be changed at least that often. Passwords must be 5-8 alphanumeric characters long, and may include the special characters #, $, and @.

Changing your NERMVS password via dial-up:

Note

Users considering using the UF/CNS dial-up service should be aware that this service is under review, and may possibly be discontinued at or shortly after the end of calendar year 2006. For more information, please see Dr. Hoit's memo to Deans, Directors and Department Heads of 05/02/2006, titled Charging for UF Dialup Services.

At your Dial-up Connection window's Password: prompt, enter oldpassword/newpassword/newpassword and click Connect. If your old password is "photon" and you want to change it to "quantum," enter photon/quantum/quantum.

Changing your NERMVS password using a non-dialup (on-campus) connection:

  1. Connect to the CNS main menu.

  2. Type signon.

  3. Type your NERMVS username at the Username: prompt.

  4. Type your current NERMVS password at the Password: prompt.

  5. Enter your new password at the New Password: prompt and press <Enter>. When prompted, enter your new password again for verification.

Changing your NERSP password

You may wish to change your NERSP password as a security measure. Passwords must be 5-8 alphanumeric characters long, and may include the special characters #, $, and @. NERSP passwords are also case-sensitive. The following procedures works whether you're using a dial-up connection or a hardwired connection.

  1. Log on normally with your userid and current password. The standard NERSP prompt appears: userid@nersp $

  2. Type passwd and press <Enter>. NERSP will respond: Changing password for userid followed by the prompt userid's Password:

  3. Type in your current password, then press <Enter>. NERSP will prompt you with: userid's New Password:

  4. Type in your new password, then press <Enter>. NERSP will prompt you with: Re-enter userid's New Password:

  5. Type in your new password again, then press <Enter>. NERSP confirms your new password with Password update is now complete, and returns you to the standard userid@nersp $.

For more information, see CNS document D0005, How to Change Your CNS Password.

z/OS (OS/390) Batch: JCL Sample

//jobname JOB ,name,CLASS=class,TIME=(mm,ss),
//        LINES=lines,USER=userid,PASSWORD=pswd
/*JOBPARM COPIES=copies,FORMS=forms

Printouts and Special Forms Codes

Output is filed in the SSRB lobby by the last three digits of the job number assigned when the job is submitted. Go to www.cns.ufl.edu/utils and click on NERINFO for free access to the DJ command to check job status.

Can't find your output?

  1. Check adjacent bins.

  2. See if output is filed by the first three digits of your job number instead of the last three.

  3. Check your /*ROUTE statement.

  4. Check with the operator at the remote to which you sent the job.

  5. Call CNS Operations at (352) 392-2061.
