Issue/Introduction

I would like to generate a dump from the File Master Plus Online panels.

Resolution

On the File Master Plus main menu, you may enter the command DUMPON in order to capture a dump in ISPF. By using TSO ISRDDN you may check that a DDNAME of SYSUDUMP was allocated to your ISPF allocations. Here is a sample:

                          Current Data Set Allocations            Row 94 of 98
Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR 
                                                                               
 Volume   Disposition Act DDname   Data Set Name   Actions: B E V M F C I Q   
          MOD,DEL    >    SYSUDUMP ---------- JES2 Subsystem file -------------
 
After the Abend you will see a dump in SYSUDUMP DD allocated to your user (TSOUID1 in this sample). Here is a SysView sample display:

From here the dump can be copied to a file and sent to Broadcom Support.

In order to deactivate the feature enter DUMPOFF on the File Master Plus main menu.
