Taking a Snapshot of VMF Records

The CATSNAP procedure is provided to aid in the diagnosis of CA TLMS internal processing problems. It issues the IBM SNAP macro for each volume serial number supplied in the input stream. The output snapshot can then be used in detailed analysis of logic flow within the system. Multi-data set records (if applicable) are automatically snapped for the first volume in a chain of volumes.

This procedure is frequently used in conjunction with the CATVCVS or CATVMFV procedures.
