Can I direct FMTDUMP DD to a DASD dataset, rather than SYSOUT Spool. The reasoning being, it is better in a worst case scenario to fill a DASD FILE than to fill System Spool.
Release : 12.2
Component : CA NetMaster Network Management for TCP/IP
In my RUNSYSIN member I have the following specification:
DD=FMTDUMP,DISP=SHR,DSN=AUCM0.CSNM.CSNM30.FMTDUMP
When region was initialized, I did a /alloc and the FMTDUMP shows up:
FMTDUMP SHR AUCM0.CSNM.CSNM30.FMTDUMP
The allocation of the DSN is:
Dataset Name ........... AUCM0.CSNM.CSNM30.FMTDUMP
DDname ................. FMTDUMP
Member Name ............
Dataset Organisation ... PS
Dataset Record Format .. FBA
Logical Record Length .. 133
Dataset Blocksize ...... 1330
Dataset Volume ......... NMD019
Dataset Unit ........... 3390
Storage Class .......... DASD
Number of Extents ...... 1
Create Date ............ 11-SEP-2020
Expiration Date ........ NONE
Last Reference Date .... NOT AVAILABLE
Tracks per Cylinder .... 15
Primary Tracks ......... 15
Allocated Tracks ....... 15
Used Tracks ............ 0
Secondary Allocation ... 50
I did a ##FDUMP to get a FMTDUMP taken and that FMTDUMP dsn now contains a formatted dump.
