Looking at the dump title

The dump title tells you the component name, component identifier and module name. You can find the dump title using the following IPCS subcommands:

LIST TITLE
STATUS WORKSHEET

You can also obtain the STATUS WORKSHEET report through option 2.3 of the IPCS dialog. First, choose option 2 (ANALYSIS) from the primary option menu, as shown in Figure 1.

IPCS displays a new panel with information similar to that in Figure 3. The dump title is labelled at the top of the STATUS WORKSHEET report. The dump title is “Compon=Program Manager Library-Lookaside, Compid=SC1CJ, Issuer=CSVLLBLD.” See z/OS MVS Diagnosis: Reference for an explanation of dump titles.
