Using debug batch JCL

If you encounter problems with a SQL PA operation, you can document the details to send to IBM® support. The ssidJBUG job is like the regular batch JCL but contains additional system output to help diagnose problems.

Procedure

  1. Reissue SQL PA using the special ssidJBUG batch JCL found in the hiqual.SANLJCL library.
  2. Insert the special diagnostic parameter DBTRACE DMP as the first parameter in the ANLCNTL file, when using debug to document a problem.
    This control card does not produce a dump, but rather dumps the content of program storage to help the diagnosis. It also copies all the output report files from a single batch run (such as ANLREP) to SYSOUT.
  3. Collect and send the problem data from the SYSOUT directory.
