Issue/Introduction
A user is trying to view a dump captured by CA Symdump for CICS. But the dump captured indicates that the dump does not have the corresponding source code. The PROTSYM file does contain source code that matches the abending load module MAINMOD with the same date and time stamp.
Environment
Cause
The product is working as designed. When a program abends the PROGRAM ID is used to find the matching PROTSYM file source code member. If a PROTSYM member does not exist with the same name as the program ID then no program source level support will be available when viewing the dump.
Resolution
As a work around you can make a copy of the source code that corresponds to the load module name by using the JCL outlined below. In the example below the Load module name is called MAINCOM but the PROGRAM ID is call MAANCOM
//* LOAD MODULE NAME MAINCOM
//*
//* PROGRAM-ID. MAANCOM
//*
//*
//* CLEANUP DELETE THE PROGRAM-ID. MAANCOM. DELETE FROM PROTSYM
//*
//CLEANUP EXEC PGM=IN25UTIL,REGION=4000K
//PROTSYM DD DISP=SHR,DSN=CICS.COMPOSIT.PROTSYM
//MESSAGE DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//CARDS DD *

DELETE=MAANCOM
