Hi, Thanks Jim & Tony,
it was worth putting my pennyworth in. I learnt something very useful. -----Snip1 ----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Harminc Subject: Re: Missing data in SVC Dump Yes - it's trivial. And it even seems to be a Programming Interface, if you trust the various BLS and AMD macros that define this stuff. You can easily see the z/OS level in the (usually) first dump record - the one that starts with what looks like "DR2 H ". (That first blank is actual a length byte that just happens to be 64.) The official IBM approach is to run any level of IPCS, which will then report on the z/OS level found in the dump. Then one must delete all the dump index info that the mismatched IPCS has built, and reload the dump using the correct level. --endSnip1 ----- We were indeed given the official IBM approach! -----Snip2 ----- In the dump header record (mapped by SYS1.MODGEN(IHAPRD) ), there is: PRDPRODN DS CL16 Product name @L9C PRDPRODV DS CL2 Product version @L9C PRDPRODR DS CL2 Product release @L9C PRDPRODM DS CL2 Product modification @L9A This identifies the level of the dump program. It is same as the level of z/OS for SVCDUMP/SYSMDUMP/IEATDUMP. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp. Poughkeepsie, NY --endSnip2 ----- It's always good to know the correct macro - thanks once again.
