    Proceed as follows:
    Log onto the system in which the program was executed. The system is

    Then call transaction SM37 to display the job log.
    Enter "&V1&" as job name and "DDIC" as user name.
    Restrict the starting date to the starting date specified in the
    transport log.
    For the other selection criteria, select only jobs with the status
    "cancelled". Then press <LS>Execute</>.
    A list of the jobs satisfying the selection criteria is displayed.
    You can display the log by pressing <LS>Job log</>.
    If the list contains several jobs, you can select the job with the ID "
    &V2&" with <LS>Display</> -> <LS>Job details</> or define further
    details for the selection criteria in the initial screen of transaction
    SM37.
    If the ABAP processor reports cancellation, double-clicking on the
    corresponding message in the job log branches to the display of the
    corresponding short dump.
