But now, to really understand this, all I have to do is find out how the SDUMPX is coded when VTAM dumps DB2 because something died in a VTAM exit in DB2. I have no idea if the criteria for a BRANCH entry are met (I suspect they could be.) and if so, if the BARSNCH entry was taken. I suspect not since the dump title said SYNCH. >From a data collection standpoint, that's good. From a processing standpoint, that's bad. DB2 has a lot it could be doing completely unrelated to its VTAM exit that abended. Hopefully data capture does not take long, but I think DB2 address spaces can be big.
