Free format

A free-form keyword can consist of any piece of data that is related to the problem. To help you search the database, a set of keywords has been defined, and we can use them to narrow your search. (For example, if you know the name of the CSECT in error, we can use this to search, but if you add the MSGxx or ABEND keyword, your search will be more precise.)

The following list shows keywords defined for use in a free format search:
