I need to create a large dump dataset so I can take a console dump of DB2. I keep getting partial dumps. I see in the messages the maximum size of a dataset is 65,535 tracks which for a 3390 is 4369 cylinders. In the z/OS MVS diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids manual they say "IBM Recommends using extended format sequential data sets as dump data sets for SVC dumps......and they can hold 128 gigabytes". But the manual doesn't give any clues on how to create them. > http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2D490/3.6.10.2 DSNTYPE=LARGE is allowed for SVC Dump (z/OS 1.7 or later) http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2V1B0/2.1.3 http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2D490/3.6.11 Norbert Friemel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ----- No virus found in this message.
