IEADMCxx (DUMP command parmlib)

IEADMCxx enables you to supply DUMP command parameters through a parmlib member. IEADMCxx enables the operator to specify the collection of dump data without having to remember and identify all the systems, address spaces and data spaces involved.

This parmlib enables you to specify lengthy DUMP commands without having to reply to multiple writes to operator with reply (WTORs). Any errors in an original specification may be corrected and the DUMP command re-specified.

IEADMCxx is an installation-supplied member of SYS1.PARMLIB that can contain any valid DUMP command. A dump command may span multiple lines and contain system static and (DUMP command SYMDEF defined) symbols and comments.

Dump commands using parmlib members are specified by member suffix using the PARMLIB=keyword. Multiple members may be specified within parentheses separated by commas. A dump command specified using the parmlib keyword are taken immediately without prompting for further parameters through WTOR. Since no WTOR replies are required, the ROUTE command can be used when issuing a DUMP command specifying parmlib members for increased functionality.

Note: Do not use the ROUTE command with the DUMP command when specifying parmlib members that use the REMOTE keyword.
