Step for obtaining diagnosis information when the binder is invoked from ld:

About this task

Before you begin: You need to make sure the IEWDUMP and IEWTRACE data sets are pre-allocated and cataloged. You can use either or both data sets. There is no restriction on the data set name.

Perform the following step to obtain the diagnosis information.

In the UNIX shell, export _LD_DEBUG_DUMP=dumpdsn, _LD_DEBUG_TRACE=tracedsn or both. Dumpdsn and tracedsn are the names of the IEWDUMP and IEWTRACE data sets. The ld command will do the allocations (DISP=SHR) before invoking the binder.

Guidelines: These guidelines are designed to ease problem determination:

For problem diagnosis, it is strongly advised that you also use export _BPXK_JOBLOG=2 so that any message appearing on the operator console is also written to stderr.
In addition to IEWDUMP and IEWTRACE, use both the ld -v and -V options to capture stdout and stderr. This method makes the binder invocation parameters and the binder output listing with error messages available for diagnosis.
