CREATE DUMPCODE

Define a DUMPCODE resource definition.

Syntax

CREATE DUMPCODE

CREATE DUMPCODE attribute values

Conditions: INVREQ, LENGERR, NOTAUTH

NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations.

Note to COBOL programmers: In the preceding syntax, you must use ATTRIBUTES(data-area) instead of ATTRIBUTES(data-value).

Description

The CREATE DUMPCODE command installs a DUMPCODE definition with the attribute specified on the command. It does not use a resource definition stored in the CSD. If there is already a DUMPCODE with the name you specify in the local CICS® region, the new definition replaces the old one; if not, the new definition is added.

A syncpoint is implicit in CREATE DUMPCODE processing, except when an exception condition is detected early in processing of the command. Uncommitted changes to recoverable resources made up to that point in the task are committed if the CREATE operation executes successfully, and rolled back if not. See Using EXEC CICS CREATE commands to define resources for other general rules governing CREATE commands.

Options

ATTRIBUTES(data-value)

Specifies the attributes of the DUMPCODE being added. The list of attributes must be coded as a single character string using the syntax shown in DUMPCODE attributes. See The ATTRIBUTES option for general rules for specifying attributes, and DUMPCODE resources for details about specific attributes.

ATTRLEN(data-value)

Specifies the length in bytes of the character string supplied in the ATTRIBUTES option, as a halfword binary value. The length must not exceed 32767 bytes.

DUMPCODE(data-value)

Specifies the 8-character name of the DUMPCODE definition to be added to the CICS region.

LOGMESSAGE(cvda)

Specifies whether CICS logs the attributes used for the resource that is created. CVDA values are as follows:

LOG: The resource attributes are logged to the CSDL transient data queue.
NOLOG: The resource attributes are not logged.

Conditions

INVREQ

RESP2 values:

n: There is a syntax error in the ATTRIBUTES string, or an error occurred during either the discard or resource definition phase of the processing. See RESP2 values for CREATE and CSD commands for information on RESP2 values.
7: The LOGMESSAGE cvda value is not valid.
200: The command was executed in a program defined with an EXECUTIONSET value of DPLSUBSET or a program invoked from a remote system by a distributed program link without the SYNCONRETURN option.

LENGERR

RESP2 values:

1: The length you have specified in ATTRLEN is negative.

NOTAUTH

RESP2 values:

100: The user associated with the issuing task is not authorized to use this command.
