The following diagnostic aids
are provided for PDSE:
- A restartable SMSPDSE1 address space to eliminate
the need to
re-IPL because of PDSE hang conditions.
- Operator commands
to help diagnose PDSE errors
- IPCS VERBEXIT SMSXDATA dump formatting
- A sample entry in the logrec data set for a PDSE problem
- Return codes that are
common to all PDSE modules
- Reason codes that are common to
all PDSE modules
- A component trace facility that can be used
to diagnose PDSE problems.
This component trace facility should be used only at the request of IBM® Support, in which case procedures
for using the trace will be provided by IBM Support.
Exception: PDSE does not issue
messages. Messages
issued when processing a PDSE are from the PDSE access
method, or they are PDS compatible messages from the SAM interface
modules.
