The TERMTHDACT runtime option produces a dump during program checks, abnormal terminations, or calls to the CEESGL service. You must use TERMTHDACT(DUMP) in conjunction with TRAP(ON) to generate a Language Environment dump. You can use TERMTHDACT to produce a traceback, Language Environment dump, or user address space dump when a thread ends abnormally because of an unhandled condition of severity 2 or greater. If this is the last thread in the process, the enclave goes away. A thread terminating in a non-POSIX environment is analogous to an enclave terminating because Language Environment Version 1 supports only single threads. For information on enclave termination, see z/OS Language Environment Programming Guide.
The TERMTHDACT suboptions QUIET, MSG, TRACE, DUMP, UAONLY, UATRACE, UADUMP, and UAIMM control the level of information available. Table 1 lists the suboptions, the levels of information produced, and the destination of each.
| Suboption | Level of Information | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| QUIET | No information | No destination. |
| MSG | Message | Terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. |
| TRACE | Message and Language Environment dump containing only a traceback | Message goes to terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. Traceback goes to CEEDUMP file. |
| DUMP | Message and complete Language Environment dump | Message goes to terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. Language Environment dump goes to CEEDUMP file. |
| UAONLY | SYSMDUMP, SYSABEND dump, or SYSUDUMP
depending on the DD card used in the JCL in z/OS. In CICS®, a transaction dump is created.
In non-CICS you will get a system dump of your user address space
if the appropriate DD statement is used. Note: A Language Environment dump
is not generated.
|
Language Environment generates a U4039 abend which allows a system dump of the user address space to be generated. For z/OS, the system dump is written to the ddname specified; for CICS the transaction dump goes to DFHDMPA or the DFHDMPB data set. |
| UATRACE | Message, Language Environment dump containing only a traceback, and a system dump of the user address space | Message goes to terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. Traceback goes to CEEDUMP file. Language Environment generates a U4039 abend which allows a system dump of the user address space to be generated. For z/OS, the system dump is written to the ddname specified; for CICS the transaction dump goes to DFHDMPA or the DFHDMPB data set. |
| UADUMP | Message, Language Environment dump, and SYSMDUMP, SYSABEND dump, or SYSUDUMP depending on the DD card used in the JCL in z/OS. In CICS, a transaction dump is created. | Message goes to terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. Language Environment dump goes to CEEDUMP file. Language Environment generates a U4039 abend which allows a system dump of the user address space to be generated. For z/OS, the system dump is written to the ddname specified; for CICS the transaction dump goes to DFHDMPA or the DFHDMPB data set. |
| UAIMM | Language Environment generates
a system dump of the original abend/program interrupt of the user
address space. In CICS, a transaction
dump is created. In non-CICS you will get a system dump of your user
address space if the appropriate DD statement is used. After the dump
is taken by the operating system, Language Environment condition
manager continues processing. Note: Under CICS, UAIMM yields UAONLY behavior. Under non-CICS,
TRAP(ON,NOSPIE) must be in effect. When TRAP(ON,SPIE) is in effect,
UAIMM yields UAONLY behavior. For software raised conditions or signals,
UAIMM behaves the same as UAONLY.

Message goes to terminal or ddname specified in MSGFILE runtime option. User address space dump goes to ddname specified for z/OS; or a CICS transaction dump goes to the DFHDMPA or DFHDMPB data set. |

Although you can modify CEE3DMP options, you cannot change options for a traceback or dump produced by TERMTHDACT.
