When a problem with a system or its communications occurs, a message is generated. System-detected problems are automatically entered into the problem log, where they can be viewed and analyzed.
You can run problem analysis on logged problems at any time by entering the Analyze Problem (ANZPRB) command from any system command line. This command takes you through an analysis procedure and stores additional problem-related information in the problem log.
Use the Work with Problems (WRKPRB) command to view the problem log. The following displays show the two views of the problem log:
