You should copy the dump from tape to disk before using IPCS to do dump analysis. Also, you can dump directly to disk. That is usually much easier because it eliminates manual tape mounting. > Also is the AMD066I error message a concern, Where does one find > the code= reasons > > AMD108I DUMPING OF AUXILIARY STORAGE FOR MINIMAL ASIDS COMPLETED. > AMD066I AMDSADMP ERROR, CODE=1109, PSW=070C10008102D9BC, COMPDATA(AMDSA001) > AMD108I DUMPING OF AUXILIARY STORAGE FOR SUMMARY ASIDS COMPLETED. > AMD108I DUMPING OF AUXILIARY STORAGE FOR SWAPPED-IN ASIDS COMPLETED. > AMD108I DUMPING OF AUXILIARY STORAGE FOR SWAPPED-OUT ASIDS COMPLETED. > AMD056I DUMPING OF AUXILIARY STORAGE COMPLETED. > AMD005I DUMPING OF REAL STORAGE RESUMED. > AMD005I DUMPING OF AVAILABLE REAL STORAGE COMPLETED. > AMD005I DUMPING OF REAL STORAGE COMPLETED. > AMD104I STAND-ALONE DUMP PROCESSING COMPLETED. > DEVICE VOLUME USED DATA SET NAME > 1 1900 *TAPE* 1 N/A The CODE= values for AMD066I aren't documented, because they are generally useful only to someone who has access to the SADMP source code. However, since you are my electricity supplier, I can give you the "hometown discount" of a guess right here (as long as my street gets priority for repair during the next massive power outage). CODE=1109 means an error occurred during during VSMLIST processing, and may be because the release level of the SADMP program does not match the release level of the system that you are dumping. There should be AMDxxxI messages which tell you the level of SADMP and the level of the z/OS system, and warn you if there is a mismatch. If that isn't the problem, then you will need to open a PMR and send us the dump so I can look at it. Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
