You can still get a partial dump with dynamically allocated dump data
sets (and even if there is plenty of dasd space) if the MAXSPACE dump
option isn't large enough.   I've had to increase it periodically on
some of our larger DB2 and WAS LPARs. I think one of them is up to
MAXSPACE=8000M but most are set smaller. IIRC the default is only 500M.
