SYDUMAX

The SYDUMAX system initialization parameter specifies the limit on the number of system dumps that can be taken per dump table entry.

Defining SYDUMAX

You can define the SYDUMAX system initialization parameter in the following ways:
  • On the PARM parameter of the EXEC PGM=DFHSIP statement
  • In the SYSIN data set of the CICS® start up job stream
  • Through the system console
  • In the DFHSIT macro

Values for SYDUMAX

Valid values for the SYDUMAX system initialization parameter are as follows:

SYDUMAX={999|number}
999 is the default value for SYUDMAX. If this number is exceeded, subsequent system dumps for that particular entry will be suppressed. The SYUDMAX parameter applies for new or added system dump codes. It does not override the limit on the number of system dumps for existing dump table entries.
number
A number in the range 0 through 999. The default, 999, enables an unlimited number of dumps to be taken.
