Abend-AID has some global configuration options, right? I don't know the product, but I recall seeing "no dump due to installation options" or something like that.

If I recall correctly, if a job was cancelled in z/VSE the "dump analysis" product (Abend-Aid, IBM Fault Analyzer, et al) would still get control and produce a nice formatted dump. With z/OS this does not appear to be the case. So if we cancel a job that, for example, appears to be in a infinite loop we have no way to know even where within the program its looping, much less what the program data is. Did we perhaps just miss some option that would allow our dump analysis program to take control when a job is cancelled? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
