The stand-alone dump is produced when the operator invokes the stand-alone dump program. This program can be invoked when the operating system is in a disabled wait state or looping. The stand-alone dump may be a high-speed dump, which is not formatted, or a low-speed dump, which is formatted. The dump output is written to the tape or printer (low-speed only) specified on the output operands. The output for a high-speed dump can be formatted for viewing by IPCS. See z/OS Information Roadmap to determine what document contains more information on the stand-alone dump.
