DUMP command
Use the DUMP command to specify parameters for the Dump utility.
Operands
This section describes the following DUMP command operands:
LIBTYPE=
LIBTYPE= identifies the type of dump that you are requesting.
Required/Optional | Required |
|---|---|
Synonyms | None |
Values | The valid values are:
When you specify LIBTYPE=RCN, you can also specify the DIR= and /or MBR= operands. If you specify DIR=YES, the DUMP command produces a listing of the keys of all DBD-related records found in the specified Recon data set. If you specify the MBR= operand, the contents of the Recon records for that DBD are be dumped. You can snap load modules in any load module library by specifying LIBTYPE=DBD. |
Default value | For information about the default DDname for the LIBTYPE= operand, see the Default DDnames for LIBTYPE= table. |
Default DDnames for LIBTYPE=
If you specify | The default DDname is |
|---|---|
LIBTYPE=DBD | DBDLIB |
LIBTYPE=PSB | PSBLIB |
LIBTYPE=ACB | ACBLIB |
LIBTYPE=RCN | RECON1 |
LIBTYPE=MDA | IMSDALIB |
INDD=
The INDD= operand identifies the DDname of a JCL statement containing the library from which you want to extract data.
Required/Optional | Optional. This operand is required only if the LIBTYPE= operand requires a library or data set other than the default DDname. For information about the default DDname, see the Default DDnames for LIBTYPE= table. |
|---|---|
Synonyms | None |
Values | ddname |
Default value | None |
MBR=
MBR= operand specifies the name of the library member to be snapped.
Required/Optional | Required unless if you specify DIR=YES |
|---|---|
Synonyms | None |
Values | Library member is any valid library member name. Wildcard names are not valid. When LIBTYPE=RCN is also specified, a dump of the associated RECON data set records is produced. |
Default value | None |
DIR=
DIR= operand specifies whether to snap the library’s directory entries. This operand is honored after all directory entries are processed.
Required/Optional | Optional |
|---|---|
Synonyms | None |
Values | The valid values are YES and NO. If you specify YES, the utility prints all directory entries for the specified input PDS. When LIBTYPE=RCN is also specified, a listing of the keys of all DBD related records found in the specified RECON data set is produced. |
Default value | NO |
