I know I wrote a generic dump routine
If first flag byte +1 of the parm list bit0 is 0 its snap(x) NOT sdumpx I am trying to dump a dataspace created in a SRB in another address space the doc says I should be able to do it with snapx Here is the doc Use the DSPSTOR parameter on the SNAPX macro to dump storage from any data space that the caller has addressability to, providing the program also has a TCB key (for SCOPE=SINGLE and SCOPE=ALL data spaces) or a PSW key (for a SCOPE=COMMON data space) that matches the storage key of the data space. As it was created with SCOPE=ALL I would rather use SNAPX because it easier for me to look in ISPF browse the IPCS thanks -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Peter Relson Sent: Monday, April 3, 2023 8:27 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Calling SVC 51 If by "calling SVC 51" you mean "issuing SNAP(X)", we can continue. SVC 51 is used for multiple purposes. Use the DCB attributes that are documented or don't bother playing. <snip> I am trying to dump a dataspace (that is owned by an other address space) SNAPX doc says "The system dumps storage from any data space to which the caller has authority" I interpret this to mean that the ALET is on my DU-AL </snip> That is not the right interpretation. You have access to spaces represented by entries on your DU-AL, your PASN-AL, or a common area data spaces. In all cases, you would not have access to an entry marked "private" unless you have a matching EAX. SNAP(X) provides information only for data accessible from your address space (whether because it is part of the address space or is accessible by a suitable access list). Further, if the dataspace is "owned by another address space", it can be risky to add it to "your" access list.
