The IBM-supplied default contents and the contents available through
customization are detailed in Table 1.
The tables show dump contents alphabetically by the parameters that
specify the areas in the dumps. Before requesting a dump, decide
what areas will be used to diagnose potential errors. Find the areas
in the tables. The symbols in columns under the dump indicate how
the area can be obtained in that dump; the order of the symbols is
not important.
- D
- IBM-supplied default contents
- M
- Available on the macro that requests the dump
- P
- Available in the parmlib member that controls the dump options
- X
- Available on the CHNGDUMP operator command that changes the options for the dump type
- blank
- No symbol indicates that the area cannot be obtained.
Note: System operator commands and assembler macros use the parameters
in the table to specify dump contents.
