We turn the dump option on in Options, Settings, Environment and select enable dump. A vendor has requested a SYSABEND or SYSUDUMP for a problem we are having, ISPF abends and says 'Dump option enabled' but no dump? Can you provide some insight on how we can generate a dump under ISPF?" >> For Mark's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid606982_tax287555,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=490692 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DATA ITEMS LARGER THAN 16 MEG? | Ask the Expert A Search390.com user asked Tom Ross, our COBOL, PL/I and LE programming expert: "Can Enterprise COBOL, v3.2, compile source with a working storage field greater than 16 meg?

The Japanese call them "otaku" -- men who are into animation, comics, video games and homemade PCs. This nerdy collective is turning into the Lords of the Cha-Chings in the Land of the Rising Sun. The "otaku" represent about $2.6 billion in spending power, according to a think tank, and mainstream businesses with a yen for profits should target this brainy bunch in their marketing campaigns. Advertising only on Japan's version of the Sci-Fi Channel isn't enough, evidently. Nice to see young geeks leaving the niche!
