A stand-alone dump dump data set can be any valid MVS™ data set name, however, stand-alone dump
has two requirements that are checked at both generation time and
run-time:
- The data set name must be 44 characters or less
- The data set name must contain the text 'SADMP' as either part
of, or as an entire data set qualifier
In addition, because the generation process does not perform any
allocation on the output device or dump data set name, it is imperative
that you ensure that the data set name specified on the OUTPUT= keyword
matches exactly the dump data set name allocated by the AMDSADDD REXX
or IPCS SADMP data set utilities. The following are some additional
rules to follow when specifying a dump data set name:
- The data set name specified should be fully qualified (without
quotation marks)
- The alphabetic characters in the dump data set name should be
specified as capital letters
