Issue/Introduction

Certain return codes will produce a dump either in the PXX or an SVC dump.

Sometimes a dump is not needed to resolve the return code, for example for return code 05 (034)

DB02405I - PXX START Jobname  nnnnn 05(034)  command-dbid-tbid 
 STC66012  IEA794I SVC DUMP HAS CAPTURED:  543
   543             DUMPID=004 REQUESTED BY JOB (MUF1  )
   543             DUMP TITLE=CA Datacom/DB MUF1   Reason--Error 05(034)
  DB02406I - PXX END - TABLE HAS NOT BEEN OPENED                              

How can the SVC dump be suppressed?

Environment

Release : 15.0, 15.1

Component : Datacom/DB

Resolution

To suppress SVC or PXX dumps for a return code specify the  RCERROR MUF startup parameter. For example for RC 05 (034):

RCERROR NO,NO,05034

It can also be turned off dynamically for the duration of the MUF by running DBUTLTY with the following:

COMM OPTION=ALTER,RCERROR=05034,BUFFERS=NO,MASTERL=NO

Additional Information

See documentation on RCERROR and COMM ALTER (Modify Error Table)
