When I add a DC X'0000' and I force a SOC1, I don't see any dump added
to IPCS.
The guy that set up this system is gone. I don't know if he did
'something' to prevent dumps.

What I normally due in this type of situation is add a SYSUDUMP DD and
zap the instruction location where I want the dump to X'00' to force an
abend. If you are running in LE (COBOL or some other HLL is in the
environment), add a CEEOPTS DD* with TRAP(OFF) to prevent LE from
reimaging the abend.

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?

Subject: Re: SDUMPs
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?
