PDCOLLECT collection flags
When using the PDCOLLECT action to gather diagnostic data, you can choose what content to collect at a detailed level.
Note: The content in this topic is relevant only for environments with PTF UJ98129 for APAR OA68463 (3Q25) applied. If you do not have this maintenance applied, see Using PDCOLLECT (without OA68463).
The collection flags are defined by parameters with the naming pattern KFJ_PDCOL_COLLECT_*. Each of these parameters accepts Y and N as values.
