<SNIP> I *always* code //SYSMDUMP DD SYSOUT=x rather than straight to a data set. This solves numerous problems. For example, each run of a job typically deletes the prior run's SYSMDUMP file(s). By directing the dump(s) to spool, they remain associated with the job's JCL, messages, and other output from the run to which they apply. When you cancel/purge the job, you also cancel/purge the dump(s). Also, this simplifies the JCL. No job steps needed to delete the dump file(s) that might be produced. <SNIP> Could you please explain how you then run IPCS against such a dump?
