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?

I am very open to using IPCS (although I still have to learn use it.)

When I use SDUMP, I get the following message on the console:
*74 IEA793A NO DUMP DATA SETS AVAILABLE FOR DUMPID=011 BY JOB
(FLASHME4). USE THE DUMPDS COMMAND OR REPLY D TO DELETE THE DUMP

I tried:
DD ADD VOL=HKYSY4

18.05.26 HKYP           dd add,vol=HKYSY4
18.05.26 HKYP           IGD100I 1213 ALLOCATED TO DDNAME SYS00051
   DATACLAS (        )
18.05.26 HKYP           IEE855I DUMPDS COMMAND RESPONSE
DUMPDS COMMAND SYS1.DUMP DATA SET STATUS
    DASD VOLUMES ADDED: HKYSY4

Then:
dd alloc=active

Then:
DD ADD DSN=01

18.07.01 HKYP           dd add,dsn=01
18.07.01 HKYP           IEE855I DUMPDS COMMAND RESPONSE
DUMPDS COMMAND SYS1.DUMP DATA SET STATUS
    SYS1.DUMP DASD DATA SETS NOT ADDED:
      LOCATE FAILED: (01,08)


Suggestion?

SDUMP in MVS is for creating an unformatted dump to be viewed online with IPCS. 
For a short formated storage dump use SNAPX. However, once you get used to it 
you may find SDUMP and IPCS more convenient.

Subject: SDUMPs

All,

Trying to debug a program I am porting from z/VSE to z/OS.
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?
