Use the following format to specify the PRINT command in the SYSIN data set to request printouts of the dumps that meet the criteria specified by the parameters:

PRINT parameters

Use the following format to specify the INDEX command in the SYSIN data set to request a list of the dumps that meet the criteria specified by the parameters:

INDEX parameters

Observe the following rules:

Specify the PRINT or INDEX command in any column.
You can specify multiple PRINT and INDEX commands; however, enter each specification on a new line.
Specify at least one parameter for the PRINT command. Specify the INDEX command without parameters to print the complete index of the CA SymDump for CICS data set.
Separate parameters with commas.
You can enter parameters on multiple lines. To continue a command specification, end the line with a comma and begin the continuation in any column on the next line.
To include a comment, leave one blank space after the last parameter on a line, and then specify the comment.
Note: If the INDEX command is specified without parameters, a comment is not allowed.
A JCL DD statement must identify the CA SymDump for CICS data set from which the dumps are to be selected.

Note: A sample job stream follows the description of the command parameters.

The following list defines the parameters for the PRINT and INDEX commands.

Parameter	Description	Format	Default
FROMDATE=	The beginning date from which dumps are selected; if omitted, all dates used	mmddyyyy	None
FROMTIME=	The beginning time from which dumps are selected	hhmmss	000000
TODATE=	The ending date up to which dumps are selected	mmddyyyy	Current system date
TOTIME=	The ending time up to which dumps are selected	hhmmss	235959
CICS=	The applid of the CICS region from which dumps are selected	applid	None
DUMP=	The dump code for which dumps are selected	xxxx	None
PROGRAM=	The program name for which dumps are selected	xxxxxxxx	Nnoe
TRANSID=	The transaction ID for which dumps are selected	xxxx	None
TERMID	The terminal ID for which dumps are selected	xxxx	None
USERID	The CICS userid for which dumps are selected	xxxxxxxx	None
ALL	All dumps are printed	ALL	None

Note: Be aware of these considerations when specifying parameters:

You cannot specify the ALL parameter with any other parameter.
For the FROMTIME and TOTIME parameters to limit the dumps that are printed, they must be specified with the FROMDATE parameter. If the TODATE parameter is omitted, it defaults to the current day.
