Trace table - CICS VR maintains an internal trace table, which shows the call sequence before the abend. You can find this table in the DWWDUMP file.

Diagnosis file - CICS VR uses this file, DWWDUMP, to snap dump relevant information when an error is detected. This dump file is useful when CICS VR issues user abend 3999.
