Parameter Descriptions

The following provides a description of each parameter:

VMDUMP [ user ID ]

Specifies that the CP VMDUMP command is used to generate the abend dump. If userid is omitted, or specified with a value of SYSTEM, the dump is routed to the user ID specified in your CP system configuration. If userid is specified, the dump is routed to the specified user's virtual reader. The virtual machine type is set to VMTAPE. When sending a dump to CA, use the VMDUMP parameter.

[ DSS | NODSS ]

Specifies that VMDUMP dumps the saved segments (DSS) or does not dump the saved segments (NODSS) as well as the virtual machine's private storage. If the abend address is outside the CA VM:Tape product code, then saved segments are included in the dump regardless of whether this parameter is specified.

OFF

Specifies that no dump is taken.
