Once I added SYSMDUMP DD SYSOUT=*, I now see the dumps in IPCS.
I just can't seem to find any command in IPCS that just lets me see the GRs and browse storage.

1. What is the authorization of your program? If unauthorized, consider IEATDUMP instead. 2. Do you have a SYSMDUMP DD allocated? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

However, once you get used to it you may find SDUMP and IPCS more convenient. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

Unfortunately, the debug process on z/OS is a lot different from z/VSE. Normally, all I want is to create either a small SDUMP so I can look at some storage before I take the program to an end. On z/VSE, I just use the SDUMP macro and the storage is printed on the z/VSE equivalent of SYSOUT=*. I am using: SDUMP HDR='GP_VOL',STORAGE=((2),(3)) Is there any way to force the data to the JES2 SYSOUT? Tony Thigpen
