  • Save the program listing associated with the job.
  • Execute the EREP service aid to dump the LOGREC file, and save the resulting output. For MSS, execute the following program to dump the LOGREC file:
    1. Service aid IFCISDA0
    2. Program ISDASDAO with the DETAIL(ALL) parameter
  • Have the linkage editor/loader map available.
