Issue/Introduction

How can I exclude multiple system abend codes from dump capture?

Excluding specific abend code can be reduce storage space of the dump repository file.(HLQ.PRTLIB)

The Default option table of CAOETABL has macro CAOETXCL's ABNDCDE for specific abend code.

 

 

Environment

Release: SYMDBA00200-9.1-SymDump-Batch
Component:

Resolution

CAOETABL is the SymDump Batch default options module for the abend Handler-Reporter.

You can specify customized exclusion criteria in macro CAOETXCL.
One of the parameters is ABNDCDE which is used to exclude system abend codes from dump capture. Each entry is exactly three bytes in length.

The Sample below will exclude S0C4, S0C7 and S806 abends from dump capture.

         CAOETXCL ABNDCDE=(0C4,0C7,806),
              ACCOUNT=,    
              JOBNAME=,    
              PGMNAME=,    
              SMFIDS=,    
              SUBSYS=,    
              USRABND=

Data set HLQ.CARXJCL contains JCL member CAOETABL. This member is used to assemble and link the product defaults.

After assembled CAOETABL requires restart the SymDump Batch runtime. (Run CAS9 with RX91TERM to terminate runtime and then RX91INIT to initialize runtime.)
