Special DD Statements

This section describes the special DD statements that control the behavior of CA SymDump System during the dump capture process.

Add any of these DD statements to the JCL for any job to affect dump capture for that job.

This section contains the following topics:

DD Statements

CADVNOSD

Suppresses system dump for a job after dump capture.

This DD statement, when specified in the JCL, suppresses an IBM system dump after a successful dump capture. This DD statement overrides the SDUMP=YES option in CADVTABL.

//CADVNOSD DD DUMMY

This DD statement has no effect until a successful dump capture completes. If the system dump is not captured for any reason, this DD statement has no effect on the generation of an IBM system dump.

CADVOPT

Provides report control overrides for a job.

This DD statement, when specified in the JCL, allocates the list of report control statements used during dump capture. This DD statement overrides the normal OPTLIB selection process.

//CADVOPT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=yourhlq.optlib(member)

(OR)

//CADVOPT DD *

(in-stream report control statements)

/*

This DD statement has no effect until a system dump is selected for capture. When the capture process begins, this DD is used to determine which reports must be captured with the dump.

CADVSDMP

Forces system dump for a job after dump capture.

This DD statement, when specified in the JCL, forces an IBM system dump in addition to a dump capture. This DD statement overrides the SDUMP=NO option in CADVTABL.

//CADVSDMP DD DUMMY

This DD statement has no effect until a successful dump capture completes.

CADVSTOP

Suppresses dump capture for a job.

This DD statement, when specified in the JCL, unconditionally prevents any system dump from being captured for this job. It cannot be overridden by any setting in the options table, and it cannot be overridden by user exit CADVUSR1.

//CADVSTOP DD DUMMY

When this DD statement is present, IBM system dumps may still be taken but may not be captured by CA SymDump System.
