User response

Check that you are using a level of DFSOFMD0 compatible with the level of your IMS system. If you are using a SYSMDUMP, an operator-requested dump, or a stand-alone dump, check with your z/OS® system programmer to be sure that all necessary storage areas are being dumped. If the problem continues, notify your IMS system programmer.
