The most flexible way to specify the dump options for a stand-alone dump is to specify, on the DUMP keyword of the AMDSADMP macro, those areas of storage you normally always want dumped and additionally allow the operator who requests the dump to specify additional options by coding the PROMPT keyword on the AMDSADMP macro. In most cases, to simplify the dumping process, it is best to define any installation specific dump options on the AMDSADMP macro and not use the PROMPT keyword. See Using the DUMP or ADDSUMM keyword to request additional storage or address spaces for more information.
