Issue/Introduction

Sometimes Broadcom Support might request a SVCDUMP to diagnose a JCLCheck error message. 

This Knowledge Document demonstrates how to force a dump on an error message. 

Environment

Release: All
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation 

Resolution

Run the JCLCheck job with runtime options DEBUG(nnn)  and NOSPIE. 

For example, to produce a SVCDUMP when JCLCheck issues error message "CAY6079E DATA SET "DSN.NOT.THERE" SPECIFIED AS OLD AS OLD OR SHR, BUT CANNOT BE FOUND", use options DEBUG(079) NOSPIE. 

An SVCDUMP will be written to the system's dump data set, DUMP TITLE=JCLCHECKDEBUG079
