Using the PARM Command: Example 1

In this example, the program produces dumps on the third and fourth time through the dump point ZZCA.

//LISTC JOB ...
//STEP1  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//AMSDUMP  DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSIN  DD  *
     PARM -
        TEST -
        (FULL -
            (ZZCA 03 02))
     LISTCAT -
           LEVEL(SYS1) -
           ALL
     PARM -
        TEST(OFF)
/*

The JCL statement, AMSDUMP DD, describes the dump data set, and is required when FULL is specified.

The PARM command parameters are:

TEST indicates diagnostic testing is to be done.
FULL(ZZCA 03 02) requires that a region dump, as well as the trace tables and selected areas, is to be printed the third and fourth time execution passes through dump point ZZCA.
