DUMP
DUMP is a Data Collector command that you can issue only from the command text area of the Data Collector Command Interface panel (DOMECMDA) or the system operator console.
DUMP enables or disables the diagnostic dump that occurs at abend retry. It also takes a diagnostic dump of a specified job or multiple jobs.
The command output goes to the system DUMP data set. To verify that system DUMP data sets are available, issue the following z/OS command from the z/OS Command Interface panel or the system operator console:
