I was trying to access the KLOS screen, but I received this abend:
DFHAC2206 09:52:45 TESTTA12 Transaction KLOS failed with abend ABMM. Updates to local recoverable resources backed out.
How can I get to the KLOS screen?
QUESTION POSED ON: 28 MAR 2005
QUESTION ANSWERED BY: Tom Ross Whenever I encounter a failure, I go through a diagnosis process. First, I check if the program ran before, and if so, what changed to make it stop working? Was there a new operating system or a new CICS level? Investigate any changes. If the program never ran before, your job is harder. One way to simplify this step is to try and run a "Hello world" program to see if you are compiling, linking and installing your program correctly.

Second, look at the ABEND code, look it up in the messages and codes manual (in your case CICS) and see what the ABEND code is telling you about what went wrong. Follow those leads, investigating and eliminating causes until you have fixed it. Sounds simple, right?

If you want help from outside experts, remember that KLOS is internal to your company. When I ask "What were you trying to do?" I mean to get an answer like "trying to run a single program module transaction compiled with COBOL version x in CICS version y, which accesses a database in DB2 Version z."

Good luck!
