System Programmer Response

For most user completion codes, the system programmer should continue with the following procedure:

• Obtain the dump for the failing job step. If the JCL for the step did not contain a DD statement for a SYSMDUMP dump, add this statement and run the job step again.
• A SYSMDUMP can be formatted and analyzed with the interactive problem control system (IPCS).
• Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, report the problem to the IBM Support Center.
