Folks:
Bob Shimizu here (again). Putting on my business co-owner hat, I'll
briefly mention that Cole Software's dump/XDC product extends this
powerful debugger's capabilities into the world of dump-reading.
dump/XDC runs as a Verbexit to IPCS, which allows you to have BOTH IPCS
and z/XDC's commands available to you. We also provide source-code
mapping in both Assembler and C languages, and we provide over 1000 IBM
control block maps (in ADATA format) for use in analyzing a dump.
Thanks for your time.
Back to my lurking,
Bob

Hello All,
Way back in the day I used to read dumps fairly handily in the MVS/XA era. But
have been away for so long I know things have evolved but appears everything is
basically still intact relative to ASCB to PRB relationships. I'm working on a
hang/loop condition that prevents started task from being stopped normally (P
STC) and have taken SVC dump and want to interpret it. I'm somewhat fluent
with IPCS and can bring up via panels, but from there am struggling with where
to go to identify where the hang/loop condition is happening.
Any shares of doc, presentations, tips, etc. are much appreciated as I still
think this is one of the lost arts that in the end to be a top notch systems
programmer you need to be able to interpret. I know IBM used to teach whole
classes on this but believe much of that has gone way of dodo bird...
Thanks in advance.
