To answer this question, we need to understand what an ABMO ABEND is and what conditions can cause it to occur.
An ABMO ABEND, also known as a map output error, occurs when a specified map is not found in the mapset. This means that the program is unable to locate the map that it needs to display or process the output.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Cursor positioning beyond the limit of the output device - This option is incorrect. A cursor positioning error refers to the situation where the cursor is positioned beyond the limits of the output device, causing an error. This is not related to an ABMO ABEND.
Option B) Specified map is not in the mapset - This option is correct. An ABMO ABEND occurs when the specified map is not found in the mapset. This means that the program is unable to locate the map it needs to display or process the output.
Option C) Task exceeded the execution time (task was looping) - This option is incorrect. A task exceeding the execution time or looping refers to a different type of error, not an ABMO ABEND.
Option D) Program could not be found - This option is incorrect. A program not being found refers to a different type of error, not an ABMO ABEND.
The correct answer is B) Specified map is not in the mapset. This option is correct because an ABMO ABEND occurs when the specified map is not found in the mapset, causing the program to be unable to locate the map it needs.
