This utility performs the same functions associated with the AMDSADDD REXX utility. You can also use AMDSADDD, but references to SAMPLIB must now refer to ABLSCLI0. The data set is placed in SBLSCLI0 rather than SAMPLIB because it is no longer a sample. For more information on how to use the AMDSADDD Utility, see Using the AMDSADDD Utility Using the AMDSADDD Utility in z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids.

Tip: Systems and the applications that they support tend to get larger and more complex over time. This impacts the dumps and traces that they produce and, in turn, may create problems for you when you attempt to analyze problems using IPCS. The tactics described in this chapter attempt to guide you to use IPCS most effectively.
