Getting Dump Information

To process an RSCS dump with one of these facilities, the dump must be in a VMDUMP format with the type RSCSV2. Unless an enabled Exit 35 routine suppresses dumps, this dump is created automatically when an RSCS task abends.

You can also enter the VMDUMP command to create a dump. For more information on the VMDUMP command, see z/VM: CP Commands and Utilities Reference. However, you only need to use this command if RSCS produces unpredictable results, but does not abend. The appropriate VMDUMP command format for RSCS is described in the following section.
