MODIFY DUMP Command—Capture an SVC Dump of the SCS Address Space

The MODIFY DUMP Command is used to capture an SVC dump of the SCS address space. You can enter MODIFY or the F abbreviation. Provide CONTROL authority to the SAF OPERCMDS class resource named CAMSMSCS.DUMP to use this command.

To authorize, use one of the following methods, depending on how the SCS address space was started:

• If the SCS address space was started as a started task, provide UPDATE authority to the SAF OPERCMDS class resource named MVS.MODIFY.STC.procname.
• If the SCS address space was started as an initiated job, provide UPDATE authority to the SAF OPERCMDS class resource named MVS.MODIFY.JOB.jobname.

This command has the following format:

modiFy jobname,DUMP[ASID(asid_list)]JOBNAME(job_list)[DSPNAME(dsp_list)]

jobname

Specifies the SCS address space started task or initiated job name. The common name is MSMCPROC.

Default: The SCS address space if the JOBNAME is not specified.

ASID (asid_list)

(Optional) Specifies the address space identifier operator input of one or more address spaces to include in the dump.

Limits: 1-32767 decimal range or 1-7FFF hexadecimal range

Default: The SCS address space if the ASID parameter is not specified.

JOBNAME (job_list)

Specifies the name of one or more address spaces to include in the dump.

Note: The jobname can include wildcard characters with a question mark (?), or an asterisk (*). A question mark indicates a single mask character. An asterisk indicates a 0 or more mask characters.

Limits: 1-8 characters that are expressed as a quoted, 'abc', or a nonquoted, abc, character string. A separator or delimiter indicates the end.

DSPNAME (dsp_list)

(Optional) Specifies the data space identifier of one or more data spaces to include in the dump.

Default: The data spaces that are owned by the SCS address space if the DSPNAME is not identified

Note: Wildcard characters that are used in the JOBNAME and DSPNAME parameters can result in multiple address spaces being selected for inclusion in the dump.

Example: Dump the SCS address space and the Auxiliary address spaces using MODIFY DUMP command

This example identifies how to dump the SCS and Auxiliary address spaces using the MODIFY DUMP command.
