IBM SY44-5902-05 Sequence number, Secondary code, Table ID, IPL source/state, Hexadecimal report

Note: Use the physical address information to locate a device or card that is within the system unit.

Sequence number

The sequence number increases by two each time an entry is placed in the log.

Secondary code

The secondary code is a 4-byte hexadecimal value that provides additional detailed entry information. The secondary code can be the I/O adapter return code that is used for communications protocol or Licensed Internal Code problems. The secondary code is used for problem analysis.

Table ID

The table ID identifies a group of reference codes for the system or device. See the Problem Analysis information for your system or the device service information for a complete listing of reference codes.

IPL source/state

The IPL source indicates the IPL mode (A, B, or D) that was selected at the time the entry was logged.

The state shows the system status at the time the entry was logged. The values of the State field include:

0(Not used)

1During IPL

2During power down

3System in full paging

4During diagnostic tests

5Occurred prior to IPL

6During DST

7System in limited paging

8System in pre-limited (static) paging

9System has not entered pre-limited paging

Hexadecimal report

Press F6 (Display hexadecimal report) to view the hexadecimal dump information (see Figure 50 on page 112). This function is optional for this report, but it might provide additional information. Figure 46 on page 109 shows an example of the first page of information logged in the hexadecimal dump.

Note: If a character in the EBCDIC field cannot be displayed, a period (.) displays instead of that character.

To interpret the information in the hexadecimal dump, read the Description column in Table 7 on page 116 or Table 8 on page 116 until you find the item you want (for example, reference code). Read across to the leftmost column to find the hexadecimal offset.
