There's nothing stopping any programmer changing his JCL from: //SYSUDUMP to //SYSMDUMP There is a learning curve, but if looking at dumps is something you do for a living, it's worth the effort. I avoided it for years because I couldn't see the benefit, but now I just groan when somebody hands me a huge SYSUDUMP. -- Don Poitras - zSeries R & D - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive mailto:sas...@sas.com (919)531-5637 Fax:677-4444 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
