-----------------------<snip>--------------------
I always use the S0C3 method as it is guaranteed by the Principles of
Operation to do this. However, I had a friend at another shop do this.
He got a royal dressing down by the lead sysprog because he (the
sysprog) had decided that the S0C3 abend was his alone and had placed a
SLIP in COMMNDnn to take SVC dumps on every S0C3 to debug __his__
programs.
-----------------------<unsnip>------------------
Any respect I might have had for that lead guy just took a serious
nosedive.
I also use a S0C3 abend as a trigger for my debuggers, coupled with a
SPIE/ESPIE exit that uses a funky parm list. What I'd REALLY like to see
is a user-controllable intercept for a Monitor Call instruction, like
GTF uses (or at least used to use.)
