Load module modifier keyword

The Load module modifier keyword and parameter is often associated with an abend code and can assist with identifying where the abend problem occurred.

Use the load module modifier keyword to identify the name of the load module involved if your search using the CSECT keyword was unsuccessful, or yielded too many possible matches:

• If your search was unsuccessful, replace the CSECT name with the load module name and try again.
• If your search yielded too many possible matches, add the load module name to your string to further narrow the search.

All IBM MQ for z/OS load module names begin with CSQ or CMQ. If you follow these instructions and find a load module name with a different prefix, the problem is in another product.

To locate the load module name, locate the first word following the label LOC=. This is the load module name, and it precedes the CSECT name. (For an example, see Analyzing the dump and interpreting dump titles on z/OS.)

Add the load module name to your keyword string, or substitute it for the CSECT name as appropriate. If we are using the structured format, follow the name of the module with the characters #L to indicate that this is a load module. Search the database again using the revised keyword string. (See Searching the IBM database for similar problems, and solutions.)
