Greg, Occasionally I have to test something using a COBOL program. This is what I have in my JCL to obtain a SYSMDUMP and I seem to get one every time I need one.
//ABNLIGNR DD DUMMY DO NOT TAKE ABEND-AID DUMP //CAOESTOP DD DUMMY /* BYPASS CA-SYMDUMP */ //SYSABEND DD DUMMY //SYSUDUMP DD DUMMY //CEEDUMP DD DUMMY //CEEOPTS DD * TRAP(OFF,NOSPIE) RPTSTG(ON) RPTOPTS(ON) //SYSMDUMP DD DISP=SHR,DSN=S01CH.ASSEMTST.SYSMDUMP In fact, many times I want to see the results of the program I am testing and I define a field like this: 05 make-a-dump. 10 dump-maker pic 9(05) usage display. Then I code: Move spaces to make-a-dump. Add 1 to dump-maker. I don't know if this will help, but it works for me.

I added a CEEOPTS DD * to the job. And I tried several variations of TRAP ON and OFF with SPIE and NOSPIE, and both DUMP and UADUMP, but still not getting the S0C4 dump. I also specified some invalid parms in the CEEOPTS input to make sure the DD statement was being processed, and I got CEE3792I and CEE3616I, saying the parms were invalid. I tried added a SYSMDUMP as well, but I presume the dump should be written to CEEDUMP? Binyamin: CEEDUMP, SYSUDUMP, SYSABEND and SYSMDUMP DD all specify SYSOUT=*. I see 'IEF237I JES2 ALLOCATED TO' for all four, but no output for any of them. Do I need to specify any compile parms that will enable the dump to be created? or Binder parms that will include the appropriate modules to generate the dump. I'm sure this is something simple, I just don't do enough COBOL coding.
