Operator command in an IEADMCxx parmlib member

IEADMCxx enables you to supply DUMP command parameters through a parmlib member. IEADMCxx enables the operator to specify the collection of dump data by issuing a DUMP command, indicating the name of the parmlib member and any symbolic substitution variables.

Since z/OS® Release 2, a number of sample DUMP command parmlib members are delivered in SYS1.SAMPLIB. They may be used as a base for further modification, to deal with installation specific requirements, such as system names, address space names, and so on. Additionally, an attempt was made to provide substitution variables where names can vary by installation. So, in order to take advantage of these members, they must be modified and saved into a data set in your parmlib concatenation.

Note: The substitution variable length may not be sufficient for the values used at a particular site. For example, &job in IEADMCAS can only accommodate job names that are 4 characters or less. For this example, after copying it to a parmlib member, change &job to a longer variable which can accommodate up to eight characters, like &thisjob.

Table 1 summarizes the sample dump commands that z/OS supplies in SYS1.SAMPLIB.

Note:

When specifying parmlib members containing symbolic parameters, you must specify the symbolic and substitution value using the SYMDEF keyword.
The dump command indicated by each row with a “Y” in the “Remote Option Used” column results in a multi-system dump.
