Creating the stand-alone dump program

The first step in creating a stand-alone dump program is selecting a tape or DASDas the stand-alone dump IPL volume (residence volume). After you select the residence volume, you can create the stand-alone dump program. To create the stand-alone dump program, you:
  1. Code the AMDSADMP macro. See Coding the AMDSADMP macro.
  2. Assemble the macro, placing the stand-alone dump program onto the residence volume in ready-to-load form. IBM® recommends that you use one-stage generation when building or creating a stand-alone dump program for the currently executing version of MVS™. Use the two-stage generation to create multiple stand-alone dump programs and to create a new version of the stand-alone dump program when migrating to a new version of MVS. See Generating the stand-alone dump program.
