Perhaps it is >intended for Linux. I recall making that request of IBM (for MVS/ESA v5 at the time) around 9- 10 years ago, as an option of post-SADUMP processing. The idea was that standalone dump could capture the information and then jump right into the IPL parms specified on the HMC to get things recovered more quickly. I also suggested that SADUMP could perhaps detect (and dump) some conditions, presumably pre-selected and initiate SADUMP then reIPL to capture failures and get back up. Then again I also asked for the access registers to be displayed with the GPRs on joblog/syslog displays in around 1989/1990 and that took a longer time to get to my local mainframe. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI (in Boston, MA this week) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
