MUF_ML_DUMPS_PREV (MFF)

Provides information about the last (up to 10) Master List dumps that were requested in the MUF. One row exists for each dump with identifying information. Once the maximum (of 10 rows) is reached, each additional row that is added forces the oldest row to be deleted. The Statistics and Diagnostics Area (PXX) becoming full has no effect on the rows being added to this table. Additionally, clearing the PXX (or optionally, the PXXML in an z/OS environment) has no effect on the rows of this table. The column data and rules match the MUF_ML_DUMPS_PXX (MFE) table.
