Analyze a problem with opened status

To analyze a problem that has been recorded in the problem log with an opened status, follow these steps:
  1. Type DSPMSG QSYSOPR on any command line and press the Enter key to see the system operator messages.
    • If the message is highlighted, use option 5 (Display details and reply) for the message. On the Additional Message Information display, press F14 (Work with problem).
    • If the message has an asterisk (*) next to it, press F14 (Work with problem) on the Display Messages display.
  2. Select option 8 (Work with problem), and then option 1 (Analyze problem). As you progress through problem analysis, the system builds a symptom string based on your responses.
  3. When you complete problem analysis, the collected information is placed in the problem log.
