Open Files Report

In the Open Files report, CA SymDump Batch formats information from the data management control blocks and dumps the current logical record for all files in the job step that remain open and are not displayed earlier in the File Section of the abend report. If the file was accessed sequentially, the contents of the previous record may also be displayed. Optional sections of the report include catalog information for VSAM files and dumps of data management control blocks. The contents of this report are similar to the contents of the File Section Display.

The Open Files report appears once near the end of the abend report. The reported files may be from COBOL programs not reported on in the abend report or from any non-COBOL program in the job step. An example of the Open Files report follows. For a description about the optional sections, see the File Section Display.

The Open Files Report displays the following information:

A

Displays the data management control blocks. The data management control blocks are interpreted and displayed in KEYWORD=value format. This information includes the ddname, data set organization, access method, number of buffers allocated, and data set name. For non-VSAM files, the unit type, volser and record format are also displayed.

B

Indicates the file's current status (OPEN, CLOSED) and usage (INPUT, OUTPUT, etc.), and the record length. For non-VSAM files, the block size is also displayed, while the feedback code, function code, and return code are displayed for VSAM files.

C

Displays the contents of the current logical record in hexadecimal format, with a character representation on the right. If the FIRST128 option was specified, only the first 128 bytes of the record are displayed.

For keyed VSAM files, the current record key will be displayed in the same format, prior to the contents of the record. (See the File Section Display for an example.)

D

Displays the contents of the previous record data for sequentially accessed files (VSAM, QSAM, and BSAM), if it is available in an I/O buffer and:

• The file is not a BSAM file using NOTE/POINT
• The file is not a VSAM file using skip-sequential access
• The file is not a JES managed data set, such as in-stream data or data written to a SYSOUT class
• The file does not contain unformatted, spanned, compressed, or extended records

For keyed VSAM files, the previous record key will be displayed prior to the contents of the previous record. (For an example, see the File Section Display.)
