One of you system programmers recently uncovered what appears to be a big hole in controlling SLIP dumps. So big a hole that I can hardly believe it, and hope he is misinterpretting. I'd like confirmation or refutation, please.
We recently found a warning that specifying SDATA on the SLIP trap overrides all system-wide CHGDUMP values. We've very purposefully set QUIESCE=NO as our default, and there is (apparently) no way to specify this in the SDATA of a SLIP. The fine System Commands manual says "SDATA options override the installation-defined defaults set by the CHNGDUMP command for any parameters that can be specified." That "can be specified" is ambiguous. Can be specified via SLIP command responses, or can be spefied via CHGDUMP? Since Q=NO cannot be specified in the SDATA parm in a response to the SLIP command, does SLIP take the value set in our defaults (Q=NO) or does it take IBM's default default (Q=YES)? Thanks in advance.
