Hmm.... If your system is broken and generating dumps, and your only method to get at the dump is to (yuck) print it, the LAST thing you want is to depend on the system's frontal cortex to get them printed: dispatcher, memory management, SIE management, NSS/DCSS, paging, virtual I/O, spool, etc. But we've gone to a lot of trouble to prevent dumps from ever being printed, so it seems no one actually needs to have the system dump printed. We get the dumps we need in other ways. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
