Using the DUMP facility

The DUMP command requests a dump for diagnostic information when BMC Customer Support instructs you to provide a dump. You will generate a dump, based on the following DUMP_TYPE keyword values:

  • ABEND - Terminate the job, and generate a dump to the SYSUDUMP or SYSMDUMP data set
  • SNAP - Generate a snap dump of storage areas to the data set indicated in the PFPSNAP DD
  • SVC - Generate a system dump of the address space to the system dump data set

The following table provides information on the DUMP command set, its keywords, and parameters.
