AMD001A
SPECIFY OUTPUT DEVICE ADDRESS (nnn)

Explanation

The stand-alone dump program requires the device number of the dump output device.

In the message text:
nnn
A sequence number, which starts at 1 and is increased each time a DASD dump data set becomes full.

System action

The stand-alone program waits for a response. When the system issues AMD001A for the first time, the sequence number displayed in the message is 1. If the DASD dump data set becomes full, the system reissues AMD001A and increments the sequence number by 1.

Operator response

Do one of the following:
  • Specify the device address of a tape volume.

    Prepare and ready the tape volume to be used. Insert a file protect ring or disable the file protection so that the dump can be written successfully.

  • Specify the device number of a DASD.
    Note: When specifying a DASD device, if DDSPROMPT=YES was specified on the AMDSADMP macro, then SADMP additionally prompts you for a dump data set to use. If DDSPROMPT=NO was specified, then SADMP does not prompt for a dump data set and assumes that the data set SYS1.SADMP is to be used for the dump.

    The dump data set to be used during the dump must be initialized with the AMDSADDD REXX utility.

  • Use the default device number and/or data set by giving a null reply.

    If the default device is a DASD and you also specified a dump data set name on the OUTPUT= keyword of the AMDSADMP macro, then the SADMP program will attempt to use the specified dump data set on the specified device. If a default dump data set name was not provided on the OUTPUT= keyword and DDSPROMPT=YES was specified, the SADMP program additionally prompts the operator for a dump data set to use. If DSSPROMPT=NO was specified, the SADMP program will continue by assuming the dump data set name on the default device is SYS1.SADMP.

When specifying the device, you can optionally precede the device number with a slash(/).
