(off-list to hide my ignorance) Hello Ed,
Out of curiosity, in a situation where multiple abends occurred, how does SYSMDUMP processing handle this? Does it write multiple dumps to the dataset? (I'm guessing "yes" because of the nature of SYSOUT storage.) We just had a situation where, in a multi-TCB address space, the customer had only SYSUDUMP. The problem was SP 0 fragmentation below the line, and unfortunately we only got SP 0 storage associated with the two TCBs that RTM decided to dump, which you can guess made things difficult for me to track down. Luckily a couple of days ago we got another dump, from another customer, with the same below-the-line storage issues, but luckily the dumped SP 0 had a lot more info. A SYSMDUMP would have come in very handy in those environments. (Now I'm fighting an internal battle between SYSMDUMP and SYSABEND. One of our support reps has some REXX programs he's written to parse SYSUDUMP/ABEND, and I'm trying to bring them into the late 1990s with IPCS and re-writing the REXX programs to do the same thing.) Also, I'll ask just because, but does Phoenix have any openings? I like what I'm doing, but there are some issues within the company that are making me wonder if it was a good thing to take this position so quickly. Thanks and best regards, Ray Mullins -- M.
