where:
fff is the three-digit function code that indicates the function being tested
when the error occurred. For example, function code 089 is for the
microprocessor.
ttt is the three-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that was
encountered.
iii is the three-digit device ID.
date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error recorded.
cc are the check digits that are used to verify the validity of the information.
text message
is the diagnostic message that indicates the reason for the problem.

Text messages

The diagnostic text message format is as follows:

is additional information that is used to analyze the problem.

Starting the diagnostic programs

The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics programs isolate problems from the computer
hardware and software The programs run independently of the operating system,
and must be run either from a CD or diskette. This method of testing is generally used
when other methods are not accessible or have not been successful in isolating a
problem suspected to be hardware related.
This result occurs when the diagnostic test completes without any
errors.
This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test before it is
complete.
This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test for a device
that is not present.
This result occurs when the test could not proceed because of the
system configuration.
This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the
diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not
installed.
