Hello,
Sorry for my bad english.

I have in a CICS program a perform who iterates more than 1000 times.
When i run it in CICS it works ok, but when i have to debug it with smart-test it abends with the abendcode AICA in this perform.
So when i am about to debug this program i have to "desactivate" this perform to debug it properly. When i finish i have to "activate" this perform and re-compile the program. It

nsantos,

AICA abend usually caused due to to an ifinite loop. May be you are not setting up the incremental counter for the perform statement correctly in the smart-test

Any way check this link for AICA Abends

Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu,
Thank you for your fast response.

I have to say that this perform and the counter are ok and the errors that i have to check with smart-test are always in other parts of the program.
Suppose this :
The program works perfectly. I run it in CICS and it

Because they execute additional instructions, some debuggers require that you increase the ICVR CICS startup parameter that is used for detecting suspected loops and issuing AICA abends. Other debuggers can get around this limit.
You need to talk to the sysprogs who install/maintain smart-test and get them to look at the install guide or contact the vendor to find out what the recommendations are for this product.
