Dear All,

we are facing a strange problem in our shop.
The EXCI for one of the transaction is failing with response saying ADPL.Below is the explination.

Pgm A(Batch prog with EXCI) links to a driving pgm B.In the middle of processing it starts another txn **RN and proceeds with processing(basically opens files for the txn).This PGM C of txn **RN inturn will fire another txn **AU.This txn uses the files opened by PGM B.

The problem is sometimes the pgm B fails(dont know the reason and always failed till now after firing **RN after that files opening starts) A also fails(user abend showing the link error)
RESP=00000088,RESP2=00000422.

Along with that **AU starts and disappears all of a sudden.

Is there any way we can check where the problem is occuring,This will not happen daily may be once in 2 weeks.This happens in prod and we were not able to replicate in Test Environments.

All these txns uses VSAM files only.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks & Regards,
Subbu

without getting into too much detail with questions -

a suggestion. since you have been living with this for a minimum of 2 weeks, introduce exception handling code into whatever program **AU kicks off. Apparently, **AU recogonizes that either Pgm B or Pgm C did not do everything, since **AU terminates very quickly. I interpret that as meaning: pgm(**AU) made a decision to terminate immediately instead of doing something. So, add code in the routine that decides to terminate immediately to log something.

Is transaction **RN ever invoked via USER at a terminal? (either cics or via WEB) and has it ever failed? (does it only fail in Batch?)
